The Color of Pomegranates -Цвет граната (S.Parajanov -1968) -Eng.sub

Poetic masterpiece strongly opposed during its release by Soviet authorities and later retouched here and there to make it more palatable to the State Commission on cinema, this film encapsulates the main features of the whole Parajanov's production through a strong emotional suggestion and the dynamic arising from symbols, shapes and colours by sketching a portrait of the armenian ashugh (poet/musician) Sayat-Nova during his life. In this restored version you won't find any chapter divisions, which would otherwise be structured like this: 1.Poet's childhood 2.Poet's youth 3.Poet at the court -a prayer before hunting 4.Poet leaves for the monastery 5.Poet's dream (he returns to his childhood) 6.Poet's old age 7.Poet leaves the monastery 8.Matakh (a sacrifice) 10.Poet buries his Love 11.Poet's death
