The form is greater than the content, but the story is much clearer than The Color of the Pomegranate. The film's depiction of fate, death and fantasy is very wonderful, especially the double-explosion review of life when death is approaching, as well as the camera sense and color matching of his girlfriend and him looking for each other in the jungle, all of which show a kind of dream. poetry. The red transition of the...

Parajanov directed "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors", a Soviet director. This director is more jerky than Bergman and Antonioni's films. To be honest, after watching the film again and then writing down what he perceives, he is quite flustered.

Sergei Parajanov, as a photographer, he is great. Most of the pictures presented in the movie can almost be described as "the ultimate beauty". But as a director, IMHO, he failed because he lacked the most basic "storytelling" skills that a director should have.
But I'm not saying that this is a completely empty film, at least the first half of it "speaks", "by telling a heartbreaking love story, showing the audience a (seemingly) ) The Magnificent History of Ukraine”.
