Event Details
THE COLOR OF POMEGRANATES
aka SAYAT NOVA; TSVET GRANATA
USSR | 1969 | Sergei Paradjanov
Sunday, October 21st at 4:30pm
Episodes from the life of 18th-century Armenian poet and minstrel Sayat-Nova are rendered as a series of gorgeous color tableaux teeming with religious and regional iconography in Sergei Paradjanov's one-of-a-kind visual spectacle. Banned for years in the USSR, where it hastened the director's subsequent arrest and imprisonment on trumped-up charges, this movie has been newly restored to the cut closest to Paradjanov's original vision. Voted the 84th greatest film of all time in Sight & Sound magazine's 2012 int'l poll! Cleveland revival premiere. Subtitles. DCP. 78 min.
