Trivia:
The version available on DVD now was first released in its entirety in 1992. This is the version that was submitted to the Soviet censors in 1969 and rejected and re-cut considerably. There is a fuller version, longer than the director's cut still in the archives (somewhere) of Armenfilms.

sayat nova (colour of pomegranates)is i believe one of the supreme masterpieces of cinema.from the opening title the music (armenian blues)? the beautiful images,the study of the life & death of the poet, is unforgettable,it does not matter if one knows no little about the subject of medieval armenian poetry.those ravishing scenes of beautiful people gliding across the screen are so moving & that music!for a film to be a masterpiece it is not necessary to understand it just fall under the spell of a film like no other ,paradjanov was a genius.
