Sergei Parajanov's celebrated masterpiece paints an astonishing portrait of the 18th century Armenian poet Sayat Nova, the 'King of Song'. Parajanov's aim was not a conventional biography but a cinematic expression of his work, resulting in an extraordinary visual poem. Key moments in his subject's life are illustrated through a series of exquisitely orchestrated tableaux filled with rich colour and stunning iconography, each scene a celluloid painting alive with stylised movement.

If you don't like poetic films, you won't like this. But if poetry resonates with you, this film must immensely please you. It is a stacking of images, images that are almost static. Yes, because of that, the film is lengthy and someone may find it boring, but to tell a biography in this form takes courage. And also talent, which is evident here.
