The Banishment Series: Film Comment Selects 2008 [Feb 14 - Feb 28] Director: Andrei Zvyagintsev, Country: Russia, Release: 2007, Runtime: 150 In his visually stunning second film, Russian filmmaker Andrei Zvyagintsev builds on The Return's powerful air of brooding uncertainty, implacable patriarchal force, and impending violence with a dark family drama based on William Saroyan's short story "The Laughing Matter." A married couple and their two children arrive for a summer vacation at the husband's remote pastoral childhood home. But the family's seemingly fixed order is shattered when the wife inexplicably utters a single sentence. What follows as the demands of the husband's absolute moral code wrestle with the ambiguity of the situation creates a tense, explosive scenario tinged with Old Testament intimations.
