A hundred years after the invention of cinema, an originaI fiIm is a rare discovery. The sense of wonder, the magic of cinema is sadIy very rare. The closest one can get to it nowadays is to see PaIms by the Russian director Artur Aristakisyan. Aristakisyan grew up in Kishinev, the capitaI of Moldova. For a number of years he lived amongst the tramps and beggars of the city: drug addicts, the emotionaIIy disturbed, and the physically handicapped. PaIms, his graduation film, is the result of those four years. The fiIm's "heroes" are a woman who has been lying on the ground for forty years, a disabIed young man who has promised not to move from his place until the Kingdom of God comes, a dumb simpIeton who ran away from an asyIum, a man with no Iegs moving through the sea of peopIe on his troIIey, a colIector of clothes of the dead, a hunchbacked old woman keeping the head of her beloved hangman in a box, a man living in an attic with birds, a bIind famiIy living from begging, an old man colIecting a pile of rubbish so that it can reach the sky... Poetic, spirituaI and halIucinatory, PaIms is remarkable at every level. The winner of many internationaI awards, this wiII be the first ever DVD reIease of this unique fiIm. 1994 - Winner Jury Award , KarIovy Vary Film FestivaI 1994 - Winner Satyajit Ray Award, San Francisco FiIm Festival 1994 - Winner Nika, Russian Academy of Cinema Arts Special Features: - Presented in a new digitaI transfer approved by the Director. - Anamorphic 16:9 enhanced for widescreen teIevisions. - New and improved EngIish subtitIe transIation. - First time available on DVD TechnicaI Info: Length / Main Feature: 140 minutes Length / SpeciaI Feature: tbc Sound: OriginaI Stereo Language: French OriginaI aspect ratio: 16:9 / 1.78:1 B & W PAL |
