Total Masterpiece.

I first saw Paradjanov's films at a Soviet Film Festival at the Cine-gog in Victoria BC in the early 1980's. I fell in love with them, especially this one. I thought they were lost and I would never see them again. Imagine my joy when a Google search turned up the DVD's a few years ago. I even love the sound of the language, though I don't understand a word. Bravo to Paradjanov who made the films in the face of every imaginable obstacle, including imprisonment.

Sad, and beautiful, and terrible, and sublime, that's how it is.
