Sergei Parajanov

The Color of Pomegranates (1968)





Sergei Parajanov is known for being a Soviet Armenian film director and artist. Within his work he creates visual fantasy worlds with colourful backdrops and vivid outfits. Parajanov preferred to work in a short format style, achieving thematic cohesion through the aggregate of vignettes and/or nocturnes rather than a traditional narrative.

Two dramatic stories. In an undeterminated past, a young cannibal (who killed his own father) is condemned to be torn to pieces by some wild beasts. In the second story, Julius, the young son of a post-war German industrialist, is on the way to lie down with his farm's pigs, because he doesn't like human relationships.

Starring Pierre Clémenti, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Alberto Lionello and Ugo Tognazzi.
