GUARDIAN ANGEL
A film by NARINE MKRTCHYAN and ARSEN AZATYAN
GUARDIAN ANGEL
What is “Guardian Angel”? In short it is about a soldier. The film is originally created on the basis of Igor Stravinsky’s piece of music “A Story of a Soldier,” the libretto of which tells about a soldier and the Satan. It may be described in the following words, “It is about curbing the Satan, about you and I… but it is better not to philosophise. If we had not shoot this film, Life would have lost its meaning.”
“The consequence of an extreme capacity for suffering and irritation which already fells all resisting, all need for resistance, an unbearable displeasure and knows blessedness only in no longer resisting anyone or anything, neither the evil or the evil-doer – love as the sole, as the last possibility of life.”
Friedrich Nietzsche
