Product Description:
A quest for truth..Among lies deception & denial. Studio: Buena Vista Home Video Release Date: 05/03/2005 Starring: Christopher Plummer Elias Koteas Run time: 115 minutes Rating: R Director: Atom Egoyan
Amazon.com:
This remarkable, intricate movie from Atom Egoyan (The Sweet Hereafter) centers around the making of a film about the genocide of Armenians in Turkey in 1915--but this is not a dry, didactic historical re-enactment. Ararat unspools multiple storylines around Ani (Arsinee Khanjian), an art historian hired as a consultant on the film; her son Raffi (David Alpay); his stepsister, with whom Raffi is in love even though she believes that his mother is responsible for her father's suicide; an actor (Elias Koteas) hired to play the Turkish officer who organized the genocide; and a customs officer (Christopher Plummer), who holds Raffi for questioning under suspicion of smuggling heroin. All these characters, combined with the movie within the movie, intertwine in a complex yet powerfully emotional examination of memory (both cultural and personal), loyalty (to one's family, to one's heritage), creativity, and the subjectivity of truth. --Bret Fetzer

This item was originally very late in delivery. I contacted the seller directly by email. The reply was very apologetic, and the item was shipped immediately. The seller refunded the purchase fee due to the delayed shipment. A disappointing start, but all's well that ends well.

I think I found the cure for insomnia its name is Ararat. No joke I actually fell asleep around three times trying to watch this damn movie. If it weren't for my teacher making us watch it i wouldn't have bothered watching it at all. it is by far one of the dullest movies I have ever seen. I'm sure it was well intentioned but man what a snoozefest. If you guys have trouble falling asleep at night pop this in your player, you'll knock out instantly.

The only reason I am giving this three stars and not one is that this is the only story-form account of the Armenian genocide that is not a documentary. That alone is a reason to watch it. Otherwise the self-indulgent, confusing plot will give you whiplash, and in my opinion takes away from the story instead of adding to it. It is like trying to have a conversation with someone on speed.
The first 15 minutes play out like an art film, leaving you aching to turn off the remote. I did wait ... Read More

It would be difficult to review this item, since I never received it.

I recently saw this film and found it intriging. The film is very disturbing as the genocide itsself is hardly ever addressed in film or books.
When I was in school, there was never any education on this and it seems to remain buried even today.
This film addresses the genocide in a very real way and should be seen by everyone.
I noticed, as a Charles Aznavour fan, that the name of his character, Edward Saroyen, was the name of the same charactor he played ... Read More
