Khachaturian: The virtuous Soviet Armenian composer (2003)

A feature length documentary on Armenian born Soviet composer Aram Khachaturian. Awarded as the best documentary at the Hollywood Film Festival, the film is about the life of the composer creating in the darkness of a tragic era. A life full of contradiction: Was Aram Khachaturian playing the fool for Stalinism, or composing music that cried out against its evils? Was he a Soviet favorite musical son, or a sacrificial lamb? A loyal subject of the Kremlin, or secret dissident? An Armenian composer, rooted to his heritage, or the New Socialist Man? As we will see, like most Soviet citizens, Khachaturian hid a complex private life behind a mask of Communist loyalty.
