Review: The Banishment (Изгнание) (2007)

I have been making my way through Andrey Zvyagintsev's movies. Out of his filmography so far, I have watched Loveless, Leviathan, and the Return, but I think that the Banishment was the weakest one of those movies.

I felt that the story was a bit lacking compared to Zvyaginstev's other movies. But I don't think this was a bad movie. I just think that the story was a lot more insulated than his other movies. It was more focused on a single relationship as opposed to a number of different issues.
