    'THE RETURN OF THE PRODIGAL SON' PREMIERES IN YEREVAN

    Tert
    Sept 21 2009
    Armenia

    Directors Narine Lazarian and Arsen Azatyan's film The Return of the
    Prodigal Son saw its Yerevan premiere on September 18 in Moscow Cinema.

    When expressing his opinion on the film, the renowned film director
    Atom Egoyan said, "The Return of the Prodigal Son tells us a lot
    about the present state of the Armenian spirit."

    Numerous film critics have expressed positive views on the film.

    "Using almost a theatrical format, with shrewd music and a very slow
    pace, the film's directors raise universal issues: individual and
    family relations, issues of freedom and resolutions," Serbian film
    critic Militsa Laptsevich said, in particular.

    He also said that "the film is worthy of numerous praises, for its
    universal influence."

    Fiction writer Berj Zeytuntsyan, speaking on the film's positive
    influence, said he hadn't seen an Armenian film for years, and "our
    anti-hygienic soap operas persistently convinced me that we can no
    longer have [Armenian] films."

    "And here is a surprise: The Return of the Prodigal Son became a
    discovery for me. Those works in particular, in which moral philosophy
    develops into a philosophic view, and a man's biography into fate,
    are valuable for me. According to me, such is The Return of the
    Prodigal Son," Zeytuntsian said.
