History
À Toronto, le tournage d'un film sur le génocide arménien, perpétré par les Turcs en 1915, a des répercussions sur la vie de plusieurs personnes.
Een regisseur die in Turkije een film opneemt ontdekt dat de Armeense guerilla-oorlog en de Turkse wreedheden die daar in 1915 op volgden tot op de dag van vandaag doorwerken in enerzijds zelfbeklag en anderzijds ontkenning van nabestaanden aan beide zijden.
"Ararat ... is a story about truth and denial - on both an intimate and a grand scale. The estranged members of a contemporary Armenian family are faced both with Turkey's denial of their catastrophic past and with their own complicated present: a mother who only wants peace, a young woman who wants nothing but retribution, and a young man whose journey to uncover his roots is jeopordizing his future ..."--Container sleeve.

Ararat
Documentaire de tournage (Descripteur de forme)
In seinem vielschichtigen Drama "Ararat" stellt er die Frage, wie sich heute im Ausland lebende Armenier des historischen Massenmords an ihren Vorfahren erinnern sollen, dem 1,5 Millonen Menschen zum Opfer fielen. Dabei reflektiert er kunstvoll auf mehreren Erzählebenen die Schwierigkeiten des Erinnerns und Leidenschaft.

Eingebettet in diese diese Rahmenhandlung werden mehrere Geschichten erzählt, vor allem die der Dreharbeiten Saroyans für seinen aufwändigen Historienfilm, an dem auch Raffis Mutter, die Kunsthistorikerin Ani, als Beraterin mitwirkt. Sie erforscht Leben und Werk des armenischen Malers Arshile Gorky, eines der wenigen Überlebenden des Massakers in der Stadt Wan im Jahr 1915, dessen Geschichte Saroyan in seinem Film erzählen will. Anis Stieftochter Celia, die ein Liebesverhältnis mit Raffi hat, hasst ihre Stiefmutter, weil sie ihr die Schuld für den Selbstmord des Vaters gibt. Anis erster Mann war als armenischer Racheaktivist bei einem Anschlag auf einen türkischen Botschaftsangestellten ums Leben gekommen. Während der Dreharbeiten diskutieren Ani und Regisseur Saroyan über historische Glaubwürdigkeit und über die Frage, ob man die Gräuel des Völkermords in den opulenten Bildern eines Kinofilms darstellen kann und sollte.

Drama
"ARARAT narra la historia de dos familias enemigas que luchan por recuperar sus raíces, exorcizar sus fantasmas y lograr la reconciliación. El director, Atom Egoyan explora la búsqueda personal, cultural y sexual a través de momentos íntimos compartidos por amantes, enemigos y extraños. La historia narra el camino de tres personajes, un niño que luego se convertirá en un pintor de renombre, un agente de aduanas católico en vísperas de su jubilación (Plummer) y el famoso cineasta Armenio Edouard Saroyan (Aznavour), recién llegado a Canadá para realizar una película que reconstruya los trágicos acontecimientos sucedidos en el Monte Ararat ; que revelan fragmentos de sus respectivas historias personales. Egoyan construye un discurso reflexivo en torno a la tolerancia, y la paz y se dá a la tarea de recrear los asesinatos en masa, las violaciones y torturas, mediante secuencias magistrales, en una evidente intención de denunciar el genocidio del pueblo Armenio."--Envase.
