The Color of Pomegranates: Special Edition

[pro-bassoonist]

I wanted to leave a quick post that Second Sight's release of Sergei Parajanov's The Color of Pomegranates (1968) is now almost 50% off. Given the history of the film, I would think that a Blu-ray release is highly unlikely.

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 stylized movement.

One of cinema’s most revered and beautiful films, The Color of Pomegranates is a unique and rewarding experience that haunts the memory long after viewing.
