The Colour of Pomegranates
Monday 5 March 2018, The Void, Sheffield, 6:30pm
Rare Giants are proud to present a free screening of Sergei Parajanov’s celebrated masterwork The Colour of Pomegranates in a stunning new 4K restoration. One of cinema’s most revered and beautiful films, Parajnov’s masterpiece was voted the 84th best film of all time in Sight and Sound’s critics and directors poll.
The film paints an astonishing portrait of the 18th century Armenian poet Sayat Nova, the ‘King of Song’ in a cinematic expression of his work, resulting in an extraordinary visual poem. Key moments in his subject’s life are illustrated through a series of exquisitely orchestrated tableaux filled with rich colour and stunning iconography, with each scene a celluloid painting alive with stylised movement.
Marking 50 years since the start of production, this special free screening is the perfect opportunity to discover one of world cinema’s gems on the big screen.
