Uniform Title: Sajat Nova

Content: Ein poetisches Filmgedicht ohne lineare Erzählung, das die Welt des armenischen Dichters Aruthin Sayadin in rätselhaften und teilweise surrealen Bildkompositionen aufleben läßt. Zitate aus seinen Gedichten verbinden sich zu einer eigenwilligen Sprachstruktur, ohne daß ihr Inhalt erfaßbar wird. In acht Kapiteln gegliederter Film; ein gleichzeitig spielerisches und ernsthaftes Experiment im Umgang mit Bild und Ton; lange Jahre verboten, zählt es inzwischen zu den bemerkenswertesten Beispielen des jüngeren sowjetischen Films. [Film-Dienst]

Content: The filmmaker Sergei Yutkevich, who had served as a reader for the script in the State Committee for Cinematography's Script Editorial board, recut the film slightly and created new Russian-language chapter titles in order to make the film easier to understand and more palatable to the authorities. In addition to cutting a few minutes worth of footage - some of it clearly due to its religious content - he changed the order of some sequences. The film ultimately received only a limited release in the rest of the Soviet Union, in Yutkevich's 73 minute version. [wikipedia.org]

Content: The restored Armenian version premiered in Armenia in October 1969. It was a product of a protracted censorship battle and multiple compromises, but it represents the version signed off for release by Parajanov and the Armenian filmmaking administration. It was not widely available outside of Armenia until the 1990s, when it began screening at festivals and retrospectives. Before that, most people knew the film through the version reedited by Sergei Yutkevich ... Initially Parajanov was upset that Yutkevich had changed the film, but later in life he acknowledged that Yutkevich had helped to get the film released. Still, this Armenian version better reflects Parajanov's mode of poetic thought. Because Armenian Communist Party officials objected to the liberties that Parajanov took with the historical figure of Sayat-Nova, the famed Armenian ashugh (poet-troubadour). The authorities in Moscow also complained that the film had failed in its educational mission. [www.dvdbeaver.com]

Content: A hallucinatory epic account of the life of the 18th Century Armenian national poet, Sayat Nova, conveys the glory of what a cinema of high art can be like. Conceived as an extraordinary complex series of painterly tableaux that recall Byzantine mosaics, the film is a dreamlike icon come-to-life of astonishing beauty and rigor. It evokes the poet's childhood and youth, his days as a troubadour at the court of King Heraclius II of Georgia, his retreat to a monastery and his old age and death. (from the container) Der armenische Lyriker Arutin Sayadan arbeitete im 18. Jh. am Hof des Königs Erekle II. Nach seiner Entlassung, weil er sich in die Tochter des Königs verliebte, zog er als fahrender Sänger durch die Lande, bis er ermordet und zum Märtyrer wurde. Die ungewöhnliche Filmbiografie des Sayat Nova besteht aus acht Kapiteln, die seine Lebensstationen mit Hilfe von stark sur-realistischen Tableaus darstellen. Das meiste an Worten findet sich in den lyrischen Zwischentiteln: Vorrang hat der visuelle Ausdruck. (Trigon-Film)

Content: Extras: - Introduction by Daniel Bird (3 min., he explains a little about the 2 versions - Armenian and Russian/international - of the film that are in existence, and how they came to be. The version on this disc is Russian, which was edited without Paradjanov's input. However, as Bird says, it's not a black and white case that the Armenian version is the "director's cut", as it too was meddled with by the studio before release.) - "The World is a Window: Making the Colour of Pomegranates", by Daniel Bird (76 min.). Featuring talking head interviews with western and Eastern European academics, former associates and actors. As well as discussion of the film itself, the documentary offers a great insight into Paradjanov's past work, and provides some essential wider context around the practical and political difficulties that film-makers faced under the Soviet regime. - "Memories of Sayat Nova" (30m 21s, Georgian language/English subs) in which Paradjanov's assistant, by Levon Grigoryan, gives a voiceover to several sequences from the film which serve to both try and explain the meaning of some of the visuals, as well as Paradjanov's intentions. - Audio commentary from Levon Abrahamyan, a cultural anthropologist from the Armenian Academy of Sciences, who worked on the film as a student.
