Featured review
This is a very moving film about the big tragedy of the Armenian people who were slaughtered in millions by the turks in 1915, or rather about the ones who escaped and who after seeing their whole families murdered, had to make a life in a foreign country, while trying to deal with the past, or at least not to let the past destroy them. Superb acting from Claudia Cardinale, Omar Shariff, Isabelle Sadoyan and Nathalie Roussel. It goes in the line with films like "La Gloire de mon pere" and " le chateau de ma mere". Giving a very good description of what was life was in the South of France at the beginning of the centuries, and what were the people expectations (at least, that is how I feel it). If you are expecting violence and gore, that is not what you will get here. Also, let us not forget that the "Armenian Genocide" has never been acknowledged by the Turkish Government, and was only recognised last year by the French one.
