The Taviani brothers set out to tackle one of the darkest, most discussed and yet shamefully ignored chapters in European history: the genocide in Armenia in 1915-17. Based on a novel by Antonia Arslan, the story revolves around a wealthy Armenian family. They are in the process of preparing a big family party when they become the first victims of the Ottoman soldiers’ purges. In a veritable bloodbath, all the male members of the family are killed, even the boys. The women are sent on a march into the desert to die. Arsinee Khanjian and Paz Vega play mother and daughter, while Moritz Bleibtreu plays a soldier who falls in love with the daughter and might be able to save them. It is a tough subject, but, luckily, the filmmakers take a classical approach and don’t elaborate on the atrocities more than necessary. There is no need for this, as the shocking story isn’t something one is likely to forget once it’s been told.
Paolo og Vittorio Taviani
The Italian brothers Vittorio (born 1929) and Paolo (born 1931) already started making political documentaries while they were at university in Pisa. Even if they were strongly influenced by neorealism and especially Roberto Rossellini, their view of history was subjective and their pictorial language metaphorical. Their major works Padre Padrone (1977) and The Night of the Shooting Stars (1982) won awards in both Berlin and Cannes. More recently, the brothers have adapted both Tolstoy and Dumas for television.
