Return of the Poet

Harutyun Khachatryan, chose his nation's 19th century poet, Ashugh Jivani, as his new film's central spirit. This is hardly accidental, for nothing here is prosaic. Here is a dazzling, alternative vision of a cinema that is essentially poetic, metaphorical and allusive. A work of tactile sensuality, it nominally depicts the step-by-step creation of a monumental statue of the poet that ends up traveling on the back of a truck through the Armenian countryside. (imdb)
