- An exquisite painting that also movesVisually stunning, despite the exceptionally low - budget production in a politically hostile time. Paradjanov also spent many years in prison in Siberia. I met someone who knew him who said that he was completely mad and used to walk around in a great big coat in order to be able to steal bits and pieces for his films - we are talking low budget! But he far excels many modern, technically superb filmmakers with pure imagination.
