| User ReviewPrivate UIt was some time that I wanted to watch this film, an Italian movie by the Taviani brothers, but with a very international cast and talking about a subject which has very little to do with my own country: the Armenian genocide. It's hard to talk about the movie itself, it's more about feelings, it's not the story (from a book) that is particularly outstanding, but what you feel watching this movie, knowing is't not science fiction, not drama, but just reality. I've seen many films about the holocaust, and they are hard and make me feel guilty as an Italian in love for Germany, an European. It's the first time I see a movie about the Armenian genocide, a subject which few people dare even to talk about, in fear to have troubles making business with Turkey. So this time I can feel a bit proud thanks to thes two Italian film-makers who directed a wonderful movie, simple, tragically sad, touching people's hearts deeply. I don't remember when it was the last time that I cryed watching a movie, probably watching The Pianist and Schindler's List, but this time I really cried a lot at the end, thinking about my Armenian and Turkish friends and this tragedy which, almost 100 years after it happened, still seeks justice and still goes on on everyday's hatred between these 2 people and countries. A movie which should be shown at ALL schools in Armenia and Turkey, to learn from tragic events to help building a better world. |

| User ReviewCynthia SDepicting the mass decimation of Armenians by Ottoman Turks in 1915, The Lark Farm genuinely exposes the relationship of identity and violence. The excessive loyalty to identity is the centripetal cause of violence, most evident in human world history. Profound. Piercing. |
