Artavazd Pelechian -- The Seasons of the Year - Part 3

The last collaboration of Armenia's two most important documentary auteurs, Mikhail Vartanov and Artavazd Pelechian. The first was Osennyaya pastoral (1971) which Artavazd Pelechian wrote and Vartanov directed and this film the "Seasons of the Year" (1975) which Pelechian directed and for the first time used no archive footage likely due to the exquisite cinematography by Vartanov. Pelechian's brilliant "Seasons" is probably one of the 3 most important documentary films made in Armenia, along with Paradjanov's Hakob Hovnatanyan (1967) and Vardanov's Parajanov: The Last Spring (1992). "Seasons" is an outstanding look at the co-existence of Nature and People and is perhaps Pelechian's best film after which 8 years passed before he made another one.

"This is your land..."

[mizofan]

Tremendous documentary, extraordinary scenes, these people are hardy and daring almost beyond belief, and don't the animals have to be resilient too!? Also, Paradjanov's Sayat Nova/The Colour of Pomegranates is a must see.

Does anyone know what its the music?

I completely agree!

Also, go see Parajanov's or Tarkovski's films.The Russians, Armenians and Georgians seem to be the most poetic filmmakers in the world.

I'm still speechless, although it's not the first time I watch this movie. Regards from Romania!
