The Silence of Ani

Between Armenia and Turkey lie the ruins of once bustling Ani. The silence is increasingly broken by birdsong. Has everything been staged?

I tempi felici verranno presto

Comodin’s second film (after Summer of Giacomo, IFFR 2012) is one of the most seductive, inimitable films of the year, in which the young director shows his capacity to – paradoxically enough – make unpronounceable earthly and other-worldly matters understandable. From playful and sensual to analytical, frightening and mythologizing.
