THE COLOUR OF POMEGRANATES (Special Edition) DVD
DVD; Surreal (Sergei Paradjanov) 1969
Sergei Paradjanov’s celebrated, dreamlike masterpiece paints an astonishing portrait of the 18th century Armenian poet Sayat Nova, the ‘King of Song’. Paradjanov’s aim was not a conventional biography but a cinematic expression of his work, resulting in an extraordinary visual poem. Key moments in his subject’s life are illustrated through a series of exquisitely orchestrated tableaux filled with rich colour and stunning iconography, each scene a celluloid painting alive with sylised movement. One of cinema’s most revered and beautiful films, The Colour of Pomegranates is a unique and rewarding experience that haunts the memory long after viewing… Extensive Bonus Features: Introduction by writer and filmmaker Daniel Bird; ‘The World Is A Window: Making The Colour of Pomegranates’ – a new documentary by Daniel Bird; Memories of Sayat Nova; Commentary by Levon Abrahamyan moderated by Daniel Bird; New improved subtitles.
