Director: Sean Ellis
The Cut, a 2025 British historical drama directed by Sean Ellis, follows one man's journey across continents after the Armenian genocide, and it streams on K-Time with Persian dubbing and subtitles.
What is The Cut about?
The year is 1915, and a blacksmith survives the mass killings of Armenians carried out in the Ottoman Empire, but the ordeal costs him his family, his voice, and for a time his faith in anything at all. Years later, word reaches him that his twin daughters may still be alive somewhere, and he sets out on an exhausting journey that carries him across deserts, refugee camps, and eventually an ocean, chasing a lead that could be nothing or everything. Director Sean Ellis frames the film as both an intimate survival story and a sprawling odyssey, using near-silence from its lead character to let the weight of loss and hope sit in every scene rather than in dialogue.
Cast & crew
Orlando Bloom leads the film in the central role, with Caitríona Balfe, John Turturro, Gary Beadle, Clare Dunne, Ed Kear, Mohammed Mansaray, and Oliver Trevena in supporting parts. The film runs 138 minutes and holds a 6.2 rating on IMDb.
