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.
Please see more professional opinions about this film, for example by DAPHNE ABEEL: "Askarian has a style and a message that cannot be ignored. If you see his films, you will not forget them, and you will never mistake them for a work by someone else.Mirror-Spectator On-Line. 01. 23. 2002" Or by LINDA BLACKABY: "AVETIK (…) is unlike any film in recent memory with its superb images and challenging, metaphoric structure. This film will certainly be seen as a watershed in post Soviet Cinema. Or by GIOVANNI FAZIO (The Japan Times): "A gorgeous and mesmerizing film,"Avetik" both thrills the eyes and boggles the mind."
