The color of the Pomegranates
The Color of Pomegranates is a biography of an 18th-century Armenian troubadour and poet, which symbolically depicts the most important episodes in Sayat Nova's life. From his childhood to his youth, through his first love and his entry into a monastery, each of these chapters is developed from fragments of his works, seeking the poet's feelings rather than a real and linear reconstruction of the events.
Sergei Parajanov
Sergei Parajanov (Georgia) was an innovative filmmaker celebrated for his striking visual style and rich imagery. He gained recognition with Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965) and The Color of Pomegranates (1968), both challenging Soviet conventions. Despite frequent imprisonment for his dissent, his legendary status flourished until his death in 1990.
