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.

Content: The crowning triumph of a career cut tragically short, the final film from Larisa Shepitko won the Golden Bear at the 1977 Berlin Film Festival and went on to be hailed as one of the finest works of late Soviet cinema. In the darkest days of World War II, two partisans set out for supplies to sustain their beleaguered outfit, braving the blizzard-swept landscape of Nazi-occupied Belorussia. When they fall into the hands of German forces and come face-to-face with death, each must choose between martyrdom and betrayal, in a spiritual ordeal that lifts the film’s earthy drama to the plane of religious allegory. With stark, visceral cinematography that pits blinding white snow against pitch-black despair, The Ascent finds poetry and transcendence in the harrowing trials of war. (Criterion Collection)
