Haunted by the human consequences of the records he handles, he becomes increasingly troubled by the way history can preserve injustice as easily as it preserves memory. As Armen struggles to reconcile his desire for truth with his concern for the people affected by it, his personal life and growing relationship with a young woman named Anahit intertwine with a profound meditation on memory, identity, and the weight of history.

Unless there’s an official release on Bluray this is probably the best quality copy we’ll see of this Armenian gem and of course it wouldn’t have been possible to see it if it wasn’t for the selfless work of an internet pirate who spent countless hours working on the restoration of this film working with multiple sources and combining them to create the best copy available, both in video and audio. Thanks a lot to sjostrom27 @KG for this restoration!

The film focuses on the end of Zeno’s travels, when he has returned to Bruges to contemplate his life. Living quietly under an assumed name, he treats the sick in one of the town’s religious houses.

After failing with doctors and psychiatrists, Abel’s father Victor brings home Christine, a friend, in an attempt to teach Abel basic social skills. But Victor’s wife Duif accuses him of having an affair, and in the ensuing row Abel is thrown out into the street. But help is at hand when he runs into kind-hearted stripper Zus – whose show Victor is obsessed with…

Abel was the big surprise of the 1986 cinema year. Out of nowhere, the film by debut director Alex van Warmerdam drew more than 400,000 visitors to Dutch cinemas. And this despite the fact that Van Warmerdam, a theatre director at Orkater and De Mexicaanse Hond, had no film experience whatsoever. Truly everything about Abel was idiosyncratic, authentic, and unpredictable. The press praised the dialogue, the design, and the “vintage” Van Warmerdam atmosphere.
