Ben Kenigsberg Village Voice Eric Bogosian's narration ... suggests that a few liberties were taken with the autobiographical material, and Rosen doesn't quite know where to go after chronicling the musician's downfall. Nov 19, 2003 Full Review Dave Kehr New York Times [A] sober, intelligent film. Rated: 3/5 Nov 19, 2003 Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post The doc is better suited to public TV, for which it was made, than the big screen. Rated: 2.5/4 Nov 19, 2003 Full Review Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) Aram Khachaturian may be one of the most important composers of the last century. That doesn't make him one of the most interesting. Rated: 2/4 Feb 26, 2004 Full Review Betty Jo Tucker ReelTalk Movie Reviews Much like rhythm and melody complement each other in a fine composition, artistry and history come together in this splendid documentary about the great Armenian composer. Nov 19, 2003 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide Rosen attempts to provide a rounded picture of the composer's life and work through archival footage and voice-over readings by Eric Bogosian from Khachaturian's diaries and letters, but the man remains a less vivid presence than his music.
