Ashik Kerib (1988)

  • Parajanov, Sergei
  • 1988, Azerbaijan, Sergei Parajanov, Soviet Union
  • 1 Comment

With wall-to-wall ethnic music and a highly-theatrical style, Parajanov’s last completed feature may be the most accessible of his most well-known folkloric works, best described as an experimental Fellini on steroids. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Legend of Suram Fortress, The (1985)

  • Parajanov, Sergei
  • 1985, Georgia, Sergei Parajanov, Soviet Union
  • 2 Comments

Told in numerous short vignettes, Parajanov’s late Georgian film retains the exotic, cultural elements that define his work, but occasionally struggles to find a balance between experimentation and storytelling.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (1965)

  • Parajanov, Sergei
  • 1965, Sergei Parajanov, Soviet Union, Ukraine
  • 2 Comments

Parajanov’s free-wheeling breakthrough film is a remarkable sensorial work that could hardly contain its dizzying energy—a showcase of a filmmaker at the height of his artistic expression.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

Color of Pomegranates, The (1969)

  • Criterion Collection, Parajanov, Sergei
  • 1969, Armenia, Sergei Parajanov, Soviet Union
  • 3 Comments

As fascinating as it is arcane, this visually and aurally arresting work from Armenia defeats categorization, but is indescribably hypnotic. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.
