The article discusses the full-length film Life Seems to Be Beautiful by People’s Artist of Azerbaijan, film director Vagif Mustafayev, one of the few cinematic artistic examples shot on the theme of the Second Karabakh War, which was produced in 2022 at the “Azerbaijanfilm” film studio. Vagif Mustafayev is a film director who has a unique place and legacy in the development of comedy and tragicomedy genres in Azerbaijani national cinema. The fact that the film, which is the director’s latest screen work, was received with conflicting opinions by society and that it has not been thoroughly analyzed in any serious source to date has necessitated the writing of an independent research paper in terms of revealing its artistic qualities and reading its message. The article turns the film into a subject of analysis and notes what role it played for Azerbaijan in the ideological and emotional presentation of the Second Karabakh War. The director’s presentation of the war in a different interpretation and from a unique perspective plays a special role in the originality of the film. The article examines the artistic depiction of the sickly-minded, evil Armenian character on screen, and the degree of objectivity of the ideas, dialogues, and episodes expressed in the film is determined by referring to the works of world and Armenian authors. The artistic features of the film, black humor, absurd and surreal tendencies, and their correspondence with other films in the director's work are analyzed from an analytical perspective.
