"Guediguian’s inherently charming film finally succeeds because it celebrates life without trivialising it.  It shows life with all its pleasures and sorrows.  That is the reason ARMENIA works."
Gilbert Seah, www.toronto-franco.com

"Without angst or melodrama, director Robert Guédiguian has made a film that gives nationalism a good name."
Susan Walker, TORONTO STAR

"Barsam, Anna's father, is seriously ill. Before he dies, he would like to bequeath something to his daughter: a sense of doubt. As he flees to Armenia, he leaves several clues in his wake so that Anna can come after him. For Anna, this journey she is obliged to make in an unknown country, becomes what her father wanted it to be: an initiation, a sentimental journey, a second adolescence. She finds him in a little village, lost in the Caucasian mountains, seated dreaming under a blossoming apricot tree. She will come to doubt her identity, her relationships and her commitments."   HYPERLINK "http://www.hollywood.com" www.hollywood.com
