Brief Synopsis:
THE COLOR OF POMEGRANATES / SAYAT NOVA
Sergei Paradjanov, USSR, 1969; 75m
Music by Tigran Mansuryan
Paradjanov's film is a collage of glorious sounds and sights, a succession
of brilliantly colored and hypnotic tableaux, telling the story of Sayat
Nova's life from his birth in 1712, to his time as court poet to the King of
Georgia, to his death in 1795. The bewitching score is by the great Armenian
composer Tigran Mansuryan. "Sayat Nova, " wrote Serge Daney in Libération,
"is one of those films (of which there are fewer and fewer every day) that
resembles nothing else before it."
