Avetik
1992 · 1 hr 40 mins
Hovering between the realms of poetry and history, this stunningly photographed, elegiac work – shot mostly in long takes – mixes cryptic metaphor and fantastic symbolism to tell the story of Avetik, an Armenian filmmaker exiled in Berlin. In sensuous, lyric styling, Askarian employs dreamlike images to reflect the history of his homeland, tranquil childhood memories, images inspired by erotic medieval poetry, and autobiographical shades of his own exile in Germany.
Director: Don Askarian
Cast: Alik Asatryan, Mikhail Stepanyan, Karen Dzhanibekyan, Eduard Saribekyan, Samvel Ovazaryan
