The Color of Pomegranates (1969)
A biography of the Armenian troubadour Sayat Nova (King of Song) reveals the poet's life more through his poetry than a conventional narration of important events in Sayat Nova's life. We see the poet grow up, fall in love, enter a monastery and die, but these incidents are depicted in the context of what are images from Sergei Parajanov's imagination and Sayat Nova's poems, poems that are seen and rarely heard. Sofiko Chiaureli plays 6 roles, both male and female, and Sergei Parajanov writes, directs, edits, choreographs, works on costumes, design and decor and virtually every aspect of this revolutionary work void of any dialog or camera movement.

Each individual shot is beautifully composed and often interesting, but without doing the homework required to discover the key to interpreting them, they are essentially incomprehensible. Nevertheless, there seems to be some kind of continuity involved, and so the score given here is essentially meaningless.

So very poetic and hopeless. Oliver Stone's gay parrot thought this was too weird and didn't know who was it made for.

An art house film that's really weird, bizarre, and uses nothing but surreal imagery. I was never really sure what was going on but the film was full of vibrant colors which at least made it nice to look at.

Certainly impressive for its time. Points of reference for me: Jodorowsky, and, especially, Jarman-- also Ken Russell and Buñuel to an extent. btw, I know liberals always like to think their favorite Eastern Bloc artists were unfairly persecuted "dissidents," but the guy spent some time in prison cos he literally raped someone, etc., you morons, not because he was just too cool and nonconformist or someshit.

Excruciating. Anybody praising this god-awful shite is a pretentious dweeb.

T.C.O.P is the ultimate display of Parajanov's visual mastery.The colors, rhythms, textures and movements are endlessly inventive, and his images are simultaneously exotic and earthy while exuding an otherworldliness that is totally transportive. It's a radical biopic forging an unholy alliance between the avantgarde and the accessible, creatively contorting the medium to conform to his unorthodox vision. Parajanov was a true original, and T.C.O.P is a true testament to his complete brilliance.

Beautiful and impenetrable. Also, thanks for not slitting that ram's throat on camera.

Beautiful imagery, but I had no clue what most of the weird ass symbolism meant, which left me disengaged.
