The Colour of the Pomegranates | Sergei Parajanov | 4K | Subtitled | Original name: Sayat-Nova

"The Color of Pomegranates" is widely regarded as one of the most iconic films in Armenian cinema and a masterpiece of poetic cinema. This film by Sergei Parajanov, an Armenian-Georgian filmmaker of Soviet origin, showcases his innovative and poetic approach to cinema, using symbolism and striking visual imagery to tell stories often linked to Armenian, Georgian, and Ukrainian cultures. Released in 1969, the film is celebrated for its visual splendor and deep cultural resonance. Parajanov's avant-garde approach to storytelling, through symbolic imagery and rich tableaux, earned him international recognition. The 1980 edition of the Edinburgh International Film Festival praised The Color of Pomegranates as an "extraordinary visual poem" and a "bold departure from conventional narrative cinema," highlighting its intricate blend of Armenian folk art, liturgical music, and vibrant, pictorial compositions. Known by its original title Sayat-Nova, this masterpiece is a biography of the Armenian troubadour (bard) Sayat-Nova (King of Song), aiming to reveal the poet's life visually and poetically rather than narrating it literally. The film, with little dialogue, presents tableaux vivants depicting various chapters of the poet's life: Childhood, Youth, Prince's Court (where he falls in love with a tsarina), The Monastery, The Dream, Old Age, The Angel of Death, and Death. Each chapter is marked by a title card and framed by Sergei Parajanov’s imagination and Sayat-Nova’s poems. Actress Sofiko Chiaureli notably plays six roles in the film, both male and female. According to Frank Williams, the film celebrates the survival of Armenian culture in the face of oppression: "There are highly charged images—pomegranate juice spilling onto cloth and forming a stain in the shape of the ancient Kingdom of Armenia; dyers lifting wool dyed in the colors of the national flag, and so on." Parajanov stated that his inspiration was the "Armenian illuminated miniature," aiming to create "an inner dynamic that comes from within the image, the forms, and the dramaturgy of color." He also described the film as a series of Persian miniatures. As for me, in this film, every scene could be a painting, which is why it’s on my YouTube painting channel.
