"In the temple of cinema, there are images, light and reality. Sergei Parajanov was the master of that temple." --- Jean-Luc Godard
"Always with huge gratitude and please I remember the films of Sergei Parajanov, which I love very much. His way of thinking, his paradoxical poetical...ability to love the beauty and ability to be absolutely free within his own vision. " --- Andrei Tarkovsky
Sergei Parajanov was born in 1924, in Tbilisi, Georgia, USSR, to an ethnic Armenian family. He studied at the famous film school, VGIK, in Moscow. Parajanov came to international fame in 1964 after his masterpiece, Shadows of Our Forgotten Ancestors, was made. In December, 1973, Parajanov was arrested by the USSR government and was sent to a labour camp. A group of film makers, writers and artists petitioned for his release, among them were Yves Saint Laurent, Françoise Sagan, Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Luis Buñuel, Federico Fellini, Michelangelo Antonioni, Andrei Tarkovsky, and Mikhail Vartanov. He was released 4 years later but kept away from film making until 1984. Parajanov died of cancer in Yerevan, Armenia, on July 20, 1990, aged 66 and the world of cinema lost a magician.

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.
