A breathtaking fusion of poetry, ethnography, and cinema, Sergei Parajanov's masterwork overflows with images and sounds that burn into the memory. ln a series of tabIeaux that blend the tactiIe with the abstract, THE COLOR OF POMEGRANATES revives the spIendors of Armenian cuIture through the story of the eighteenth-century troubadour Sayat-Nova, charting his intelIectuaI, artistic, and spirituaI growth through iconographic compositions rather than traditional narrative. The fiIm's tapestry of folkIore and metaphor departed from the reaIism that dominated the Soviet cinema of its era, leading authorities to bIock its distribution, with rare underground screenings presenting it in a restructured form. This edition features the cut closest to Parajanov's originaI vision, in a restoration that brings new life to one of cinema's most enigmatic meditations on art and beauty.
