There are coded messages of the tribulations of the artist here, and also a playful, mischievous comedic tone that allays any feeling of self-absorbtion on the director's part. Astonishing.

As always with Paradjanov, we are treated with a visual feast. No-one shoots a film quite like him. This one, however, seems like we're only seeing the occasional illustration to a much more detailed story. Perhaps knowledge of the underlying tale adds context that I found missing. I'll definitely view this more times (and perhaps do some research on the story itself).

Paradjanov constructs images like no one else. His exquisitely designed frames are like nothing else I've seen, the closest I can think of is Jodorowsky's The Holy Mountain. In this film, he once again provides stunning visuals rich with symbolism and tableaus unlike any other in cinema. And the music is fantastic, too. On a purely aesthetic level, it's a dynamite movie. But alas, there's more to it than that. The story starts out fine, a kind of "Arabian nights" fairy tale, but it loses traction in the middle and seems to go nowhere. This draggy section makes the film feel awfully long (when it's only 75 minutes). Also, the actors employ a style of highly exagerrated miming with voice-over. In a story like this, some degree of "over-acting" is expected and even appropriate, but this was frequently annoying. Fascinating in some ways, most notably the captivating images, but hard to recommend.

A brilliant piece of art, really brilliant use of colours and environment to prove a tale from a cultural point of view, a surrealistic journey into traditions and culture. It's like Godard, " 1+1 = 2 but what does + means". I may have quoted wrongly, but whatever, this film is one where each shot has a special meaning, able to stand up and work the whole film, for wht it is, a pure cinematic journey.

Utterly bizarre, almost incomprehensible, beautiful, yet a superb piece of high camp at the same time. A huge influence on my music, too. I cannot decide whether the monotonous, guttural Georgian voiceover improves or spoils it ...
