Esau by Pavel Lungin is a profound cinematic parable that delicately explores family bonds, jealousy, and lost hopes. The story centers on Esau’s return to his childhood home, where he confronts old grievances and past attachments. Lungin enhances the biblical themes with breathtaking Israeli landscapes and a rich, melancholic atmosphere.

影片有着不明显但浓郁的俄罗斯式的古典气息，雄浑大气，不滞于物，色调沾染了主观的色彩，镜头像是目光，又像是回忆，主题里有信仰也有命运，有爱情也有背叛，内核还是偏保守和传统的家庭与民族的一体性，面包大过艺术，回归好过远方，不过还是很治愈的，结尾侄女登上了飞往美国的飞机，男主回到了面包房，年青一代拥抱梦想，老年一代回归家庭，更喜欢的是最后的闪回，生命回到最甜美的时刻，爱开始的瞬间。

A writer (Lior Ashkenazi) returns to the family home in Israel to care for his ailing father (Harvey Keitel) and must face his embittered younger brother, who assumed all the responsibility for their family bakery…and married the woman (Shira Haas) whom they both loved. Release date: on Digital and VOD on December 1, 2020.
