8 Best Armenian Movies to Watch

Armenia Arthouse slow and atmosphericthought provoking
Sergei Parajanov’s hypnotic, tableau-driven style still defines Armenian cinema’s international reputation decades later, even as the industry has stayed small. In The Color of Pomegranates (1969): An 18th-century poet’s life is retold through a series of surreal, painterly tableaux rather than a linear plot. Worth seeking out is Amerikatsi (2022): An Armenian-American returning to Soviet Armenia is imprisoned and finds an unlikely connection with a guard across their cell windows.
