Palms DVD

'Palms' Director: Artur Aristakisyan (1993) Second Run DVD |  Staff Pick  | Russian w/ English subtitles | Includes interview with director Artur Aristakisyan, and booklet featuring essay by Graeme Hobbs.

An astonishing portrait of people who live on the margins of life and exist outside normal society. Profound, spiritual and hallucinatory - the film is narrated by the director addressing his unborn son, in a cautionary tone that underscores the undying corruption prevalent in political and economic systems of the world.
