Introduction:
Sergei Parajanov’s The Color of Pomegranates isn’t a film in the traditional sense—it’s a series of moving paintings, an artistic tribute to Armenian poet Sayat-Nova.
Review:
Every frame is meticulously composed, resembling a classical painting with symbolic gestures and surreal imagery. There’s no dialogue, no conventional storytelling—just an overwhelming sensory experience that speaks through visuals and music.
Why It’s a Hidden Gem:
It’s one of cinema’s most visually striking works, yet remains largely unknown outside of arthouse circles. Its abstract approach might not be for everyone, but for lovers of avant-garde cinema, it’s a treasure trove of artistry.
Final Thoughts:
A hypnotic journey into the soul of a poet, proving that cinema can be pure visual poetry.
