Ararat Summary From The Academy Award(r)-nominated Director Atom Egoyan (best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, The Sweet Hereafter, 1997; Exotica, Felicia's Journey), And Featuring An All-star Cast, Ararat Is The Acclaimed Cinematic Masterpiece About A Tragic Historical Event, A Country In Denial, And A People Yearning For The Truth. For The Estranged Members Of A Contemporary Family, The Tangled Relationships Of Their Present Are Only Complicated By Their Catastrophic Past. And What Begins As A Search For Clues Becomes A Determined Quest For Answers Across A Vast And Ancient Terrain Of Deception, Denial, Fact, And Fears. This Stunning And Passionate Motion Picture Explores The Pursuit Of Identity Through The Intimate Moments Shared By Lovers, Families, Enemies, And Strangers.

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
