September 6, 2011 Finding inspiration in the language of painting, Parajanov turns the life of one man into a series of tableaux vivants. I felt confused after watching this film, although this must be a typical response to most viewers who watch films that do not have a standard linear plot. 21 out of 38 found this helpful. 35 out of 46 found this helpful.

If you don't like movies that make you think this film is probably not for you. The absolute 'must see'...no movie will ever look the same after seeing this one. This movie sure is beautiful and unique but I don't really get what they are trying to say through the weird scenes. It remains a powerful and very beautiful film, not like any other. May 21, 2014 Parajanov’s world is a 2D landscape where all the actors face out directly towards the camera.
