Abstracts

EN

Andrei Zviagintsev in his two films ('The return' (2003) and the 'Banishment' (2007)) refers to paintings and photography. Specific paintings used in the diegesis and examples of art iconography combine to create small biblical cycles and provoke biblical interpretation. However the characters do not act in agreement with their biblical prototypes, and are not aware of artistic citations and their meanings, especially that those citations are dominated by the narrative. The presence of photography directs the viewer's attention towards itself, and expands and strengthens the reality of the fiction presented on screen. Only in the end is the viewer forced to confront this final trope.
