Your eyeballs will never be the same after Sergei Parajanov’s lyrical and spellbinding masterpiece. An unparalleled visual feast of Armenian culture, poetic imagery, and mind-bending spirituality, The Color of Pomegranates is only more resplendent on a big screen. Following the life of 18th-century Armenian poet and troubadour Sayat-Nova through a series of abstract tableux that subvert the typical narrative structure and lead you on a journey of the mind. Suppressed by the Soviet cinemas of the time, this one-of-a-kind cinematic experience is widely considered one of the most groundbreaking films of all time and an absolute must see for any cinephile!
The Color of Pomegranates was restored by The Film Foundation’s World Cinema Project and the Cineteca di Bologna, in association with the National Cinema Centre of Armenia and Gosfilmofond of Russia, and funded by the Material World Charitable Foundation.
