About A Slave of St. George
The first banned film of Armenian cinema. The further screening of the film was forbidden in Soviet Armenia because of the scenes in a brothel. The People's Commissariat of Education banned the screening of the film in Armenia, citing the fact that the events depicted in the film are characteristic of the period of Dashnaktsutyun's rule and that in 1927-1928 the screening of such a film cannot play an educational role.
Directed by Arkadi Yalovoy, A Slave of St. George leans on a strong ensemble — Hasmik Agopyan, Avet Avetisyan, Khristofor Abrahamyan — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1928.
