What The Color of Pomegranates Is About
The life of an Armenian poet is told not as a chain of events but as a series of tableaux. The figures look at the camera, the movement is ceremonial and the depth of the space is deliberately flattened. The film refuses narrative cinema entirely; every scene is arranged like a miniature and objects carry more meaning than words. The same performer plays both the poet and his beloved. Sergei Parajanov directed. The film was re-edited by the Soviet authorities and the director was imprisoned in later years; different versions circulate today. Before watching: this offers no story to follow. A short reading about Armenian culture and the poet's life changes the experience markedly.
