Ararat

Director Atom Egoyan
Genres Drama
Run time 110 mins Certificate 15

27th May 2005

Shindlers List took a genocide and made it understandable through its terrifying horror. This took a similar genocide, with its no less brutality and beastliness, with all the horror of a nation turning upon the defenceless that it should be protecting, and trivialised it with a rather stupid story line about a did he or didn't he try to smuggle heroin through customs in film cases.... My wife is Armenian, she felt disappointed and let down.
