Newly restored to its original form, celebrated filmmaker Paradjanov’s visually audacious masterpiece is, on the surface, a biography of the 18th century Armenian poet Sayat Nova. “But before all else it’s a cinematic experience, and you come away remembering images, repeated expressive movements, costumes, objects, compositions, colors. There’s nothing else quite like this picture.” (Martin Scorsese).
