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 means anything to you, this film will be sure to please you immensely. It's a stacking of almost static images. Yes, because of that, the movie can be lengthy and might seem boring to some, but it takes courage to tell a biography in this form. And also talent, which is evident here.
