      The form is greater than the content, but the story is much clearer than The Color of the Pomegranate. The film's depiction of fate, death and fantasy is very wonderful, especially the double-explosion review of life when death is approaching, as well as the camera sense and color matching of his girlfriend and him looking for each other in the jungle, all of which show a kind of dream. poetry. The red transition of the...

      2013 record

      Parajanov directed "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors", a Soviet director. This director is more jerky than Bergman and Antonioni's films. To be honest, after watching the film again and then writing down what he perceives, he is quite flustered. Tired, there are three directors I am very reluctant to write and explain, one is Tarkovsky, the second is Jarman, and the third is this. In fact, sometimes don't imagine these arts too complicated and too torturous. There are many...

      The loneliness of death——On Sergei Parajanov's poem film "Shadow of Forgotten Ancestors"

      The loneliness of death
      ——On Sergei Parajanov's poem film "Shadow of Forgotten Ancestors"

      "Poetry film is a film creation proposition with the main purpose of negating plot, exploring metaphor and lyrical function. The film form that emerges from the understanding of the lyrical nature of film.” After a superficial understanding of the film’s proposition of poetry film, we can trace back to the overall image text of Parajanov’s film, and the strong emotional color contained in...

      Dream in the torrent of time

              It's not a narrative, it's an image. It is a poem composed of music and pictures, which embodies the essence of film.
              It is even more amazing to see that it is actually based on a novel by the Ukrainian writer Kotyubinsky, because the narrative element is extremely weakened, not literature at all, but it is cinematic and poetic.
              He told us what a movie is, only the pictures are enough, and of course there is music, in addition to the eyes, we also need to...

      Tourism promotional video

        Sergei Parajanov, as a photographer, he is great. Most of the pictures presented in the movie can almost be described as "the ultimate beauty". But as a director, IMHO, he failed because he lacked the most basic "storytelling" skills that a director should have.
        But I'm not saying that this is a completely empty film, at least the first half of it "speaks", "by telling a heartbreaking love story, showing the audience a (seemingly) ) The Magnificent History of Ukraine”.
        But in...

      The blood-stained horse ran across the blood-red sky, Parajanov turned out to be born, and made love into a vast ethnography, shocking all the senses, taking in everything, arrogant, and the bursting energy endows all things with spirituality. His passion for revival of ancestral culture in the face of prison, has now become a declaration of national identity. In the past 30 years, there may be no pure national hero in Liwu, but this blowout, the mysterious pilot who shot down more than a dozen...

      For a full hour and a half of dancing the Great God and the Mountain Gougou, I was thinking that this must be a must-read material for folklore. I prefer the last half hour, some scenes are really astonishing, such as the big red in the tavern and the whole section of Ivan's death. (btw the music is a little too loud and the echoes make my hair...

      The camera movement is very rich, the angles are tricky, the smoothness is smooth, and the extremely difficult long lens movements abound, albeit with some vertigo. Passionate Caucasian music and mellow folk customs like spirits blend into the beautiful picture like raindrops in the...

    This film is a typical poetic film, showing in a unique style the scene of the nation exploring the way of survival, and peeking into the activities and changes of the nation's inner consciousness. The film mixes delicate documentary scenes with baroque visuals in a masterful way. Through the guidance of the protagonist's emotions, the whirlpool narrative style shuttles between fantasy and reality. The camera, like an obsession,...
