I liked the part with the wet books.
Less a movie and more a collection of nonsensical tableaux and christian imagery that I'm sure meant something to somebody. In fact, I'm just going to say it wasn't a movie at all and move on without attempting to rate it.
I assume the point was to interpret it however you will, rather than pick up on any prescribed meaning, but I just got nothing out of it. Then again, the fact that it was allegedly the life story of an Armenian poet seems to fly in the face of that open-interpretation theory.
Perhaps it was meant to be recreations of things described in his poetry, but I had no idea who Sayat-Nova was before watching this, and I sure don't now.
Whatever this was, it certainly wasn't for me.

Supplementary: What a pretentious piece of shit, lmao.
Some of the reviews on this one are so ridiculous that I'm convinced people are lying to fit in to a crowd that isn't worth fitting into.
