>                 Ashik Kerib (aka Ashug-Karibi):
>                 by Sergei Paradjanov

>                 The Color Of Pomegranates
>                            1969
>                 Short Clip from Sergei Paradjanov's  'Sayat Nova'
>
> In recounting Lermontov's fable a wandering minstrel Ashik Kerib falls 
> in love with a rich merchant's daughter, but is spurned by her father 
> and forced to roam the world for a thousand and one nights - but not 
> before he's got the daughter to promise not to marry till his return. 
> It's told in typical Paradjanov style, in a series of visually 
> ravishing 'tableaux vivants'  and are combined with intertitles, 
> images of early Russian artwork overlaid with Turkish and Azerbaijani 
> folksongs as well as other European musicial motifs.
>
>  " The Color of the Pomegranate", is a biography of the Armenian 
> troubadour Sayat Nova (King of Song) reveals the poet's life more 
> through his poetry than a conventional narration of important events 
> in Sayat Nova's life. We see the poet grow up, fall in love, enter a 
> monastery and die, but these incidents are depicted in the context of 
> what are images from Sergei Parajanov's imagination and Sayat Nova's 
> poems, poems that are seen and rarely heard. Sofiko Chiaureli plays 6 
> roles, both male and female, and Sergei Parajanov writes, directs, 
> edits, choreographs, works on costumes, design and decor and virtually 
> every aspect using very little dialogue.
>
> His baroque masterpiece, "Sayat Nova", was banned in Russia in 1968 
> for its religious sentiment and nonconformity to "Socialist realism"; 
> and in 1969 it was re-edited/censored and renamed, The Color Of 
> Pomegranates. After years of intrigue and suspicion, Parajanov was 
> arrested in Kiev on 17 December 1973 and was convicted on a number of 
> trumped up charges, the charges were given as "business with art 
> objects, leaning towards homosexuality, incitement to suicide, and 
> black-marketing" and sentenced to five years of hard labor in the 
> Gulag. A wave of protest from the international film community led to 
> his release in 1978. On 11 February 1982, he was arrested again by the 
> KGB,"for bribing a public official" to help a nephew gain entrance to 
> the university, and detained in the Voroshilovgrad prison until 
> November 1982. After 15 years on a blacklist, Parajanov received the 
> support of Eduard Shevarnadze, First Secretary of the Georgian 
> Communist Party, to make the feature The Legend of Suram 
> Fortress(1985), co-directed by actor Dodo Abakhidze, and the 
> documentary Arabesques on the Theme Pirosmani (1986) at the Gruziafilm 
> Studio in Tbilisi. His last film, Ashik Kerib (1988), a 
> Georgian-Armenian-Azerbaijan co-production,  received limited release. 
> Sergei Parajanov died in July 1990 at the age of 66.
