Storyline

This film is based on the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire 1915, which resulted in the forced migration and diaspora of the Armenian minority. One day a young family man, Nazaret Manoogian, gets deported by the Turkish authorities together with all the other Armenian men from his native village of Mardin. He becomes a forced laborer and only survives the mass murder by chance and an act of kindness, but loses his family, speech and faith. One night the devastated Nazaret learns that his daughters may still be alive and didn't die like his wife from starvation, violence or rape on death marches. Nazaret goes on a quest to find them and travels from his small village through the Mesopotamian deserts to the sea, always looking for clues that might lead him to his children. Nazaret's epic journey will take him from Asia to America, from the end to a new beginning... Written by Anonymous

A true masterpiece!
23 March 2015 | by (Bulgaria) – See all my reviews

A true masterpiece!Liked it a lot!

Faith Akin - unique as always.I would say that "The cut" is one of his best films.

Very hard to watch it on some points - kind of painful - the armenian genocide is historical fact.

Very good scenario and actors!

Definitely one of the best movies, which i have watched this year.

Highly recommend "The Cut" to everyone who wants to understand what the real cinema is!

Gave 9 to the movie and i think this movie absolutely deserved it.
