The Color of Pomegranates (1969, Armenia, Dir. Sergei Parajanov)

Forget plot. Forget dialogue. The Color of Pomegranates isn’t a movie — it’s a moving tapestry.
Armenian director Sergei Parajanov visualizes the life of poet Sayat-Nova through symbolic tableaux of silk, fruit, blood, and devotion. Every frame looks painted by angels and anarchists working together.
It’s myth as cinema, poetry as architecture — fantasy stripped down to pure image and meaning.
You don’t watch this film. You inhabit it.
