  The first major work by the controversial Russian filmmaker Sergei Paradjanov. Although acclaimed internationally Parajadnov's visionary and poetic oeuvre was regarded as subversive by the Soviet authorities and he was frequently banned from filmmaking and imprisoned. Set within a Gutsui community in the Ukranian Carpathian mountains this visually stunning and richly detailed tale of a young man who yearns for a lost love is a beguiling mix of folklore and sorcery and religious symbolism which brought Paradjanov to prominence and won numerous awards.
