Azat Posted June 22, 2003 Report Share Posted June 22, 2003 Did anyone get to see this film? Like an idiot I forgot about it until few minutes ago. FRESCOESFreskiRussia200296 minColorArmenian Director: Alexander GutmanWriter: Alexander Gutman, Sergej LitviarovProducers: Alexander Gutman, Joerg Langer, Jens TerraheCinematographer: Alexander Gutman, Alexander Burov, Nikolai VolkovEditor: Alexander GutmanMusic: Djivan Gasparyan http://www.lafilmfest.com/2003/filmguide/images/filmstills/0121.jpg The Armenia captured through the poetic lens of documentary filmmaker Alexander Gutman is a country of stone, of towering mountains, and solemn grave markers. The hard landscape, however, is no match for the strength of its people. Shot in Giumril, a city devastated by an earthquake in 1988 shortly before Armenia won its independence, Frescoes offers a powerful portrait of a nation digging out and moving on. Through the measured lives of Varuzh, a young boy awaiting his baptism, and Garnik, an elderly gravedigger approaching another birthday, Gutman finds the deep connections between everyday scenes--a crowded market, children at play, glasses raised for a toast--and the soul of a people. http://www.lafilmfest.com/2003/filmguide/e...ventNumber=0121 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
