Armenian Genocide
17:25 02.05.2014
Producer Velriy Saharyan plans to shoot a movie about the Armenian
Genocide and intends to invite renowned French actor Alain Delon to
star in the film.
Speaking to LifeNews Saharyan recalled Mr. Delon's visit to the
Armenian Genocide memorial in Yerevan. `The actor was so excited he
could not help crying.'
Saharyan himself has learnt about the horrors of the 1915 massacres
from his grandmother.
The events in the film to be titled `Patient' take place in one of the
psychiatric clinics in Paris in early 20th century. The main character
is Armenian composer Komitas. The nightmare he experienced during the
Genocide left a deep ineradicable impression on his soul. Komitas
remained in seclusion from the outer world, absorbed in his gloomy and
heavy thoughts ` sad and broken. In the autumn of 1916, he was taken
to a hospital in Constantinople, and then moved to Paris in 1919,
where he died in a psychiatric clinic in 1935.
For Valeriy Saharyan the film is a tribute to the memory of his
ancestors. That's why he wants to involve people not indifferent to
the issue of genocide. He has recently contacted Serj Tankian, lead
singer of the System Of A Down, who has agreed to write the
soundtrack for the future film.
Renowned Hollywood actors Adrien Brody and Dustin Hoffman are also
expected to star in the film.
