The Promise**
(US/Spa 2016)
In 1914 an Armenian medical student in Constantinople falls in love with a fellow Armenian who is with an American journalist covering the Turkish genocide at the beginning of World War I.
Beautifully scenic (shot mostly in Spain) romantic drama, powerfully acted and movingly made, if grinding on during its narrative, the political aspects of a still controversial subject (holocaust denial by Turkey) slightly distracted from time to time by that old staple of war drama: the love triangle.
Written by: Terry George, Robin Swicord.
Producers: Eric Esrailian, Mike Medavoy, William Horberg.
Director: Terry George.
Starring: Oscar Isaac, Charlotte Le Bon, Christian Bale, Marwan Kenzari, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Tom Hollander, James Cromwell, Jean Reno.
Photography: Javier Aguirresarobe.
Music: Gabriel Yared.
Editing: Steven Rosenblum.
