Watch: Նռան գույնը 1969 123movies, Full Movie Online – One of cinema’s greatest masterpieces, Sergei Parajanov’s “The Color of Pomegranates,” a biography of the Armenian troubadour Sayat Nova (King of Song) reveals the poet’s life more through his poetry than a conventional narration of important events in Sayat Nova’s life. We see the poet grow up, fall in love, enter a monastery and die, but these incidents are depicted in the context of what are images from Sergei Parajanov’s imagination and Sayat Nova’s poems, poems that are seen and rarely heard. Sofiko Chiaureli plays 5 roles, both male and female, and Sergei Parajanov writes, directs, edits, choreographs, works on costumes, design and decor and virtually every aspect of this one-of-a-kind work hailed as revolutionary by Mikhail Vartanov..
Plot: The life of the revered 18th-century Armenian poet and musician Sayat-Nova. Portraying events in the life of the artist from childhood up to his death, the movie addresses in particular his relationships with women, including his muse. The production tells Sayat-Nova’s dramatic story by using both his poems and largely still camerawork, creating a work hailed as revolutionary by Mikhail Vartanov.

Fascinating and unusual film
The Color of Pomegranates (made in 1968, and also released under the name Sayat Nova) is not really a conventional movie. It is more like a series of tableaux “inspired” by 18th century Armenian poet Nova. It is nonetheless fascinating, and should be required viewing for anybody interested not only in Armenian culture but in cinema in general (or, if you wish, the visual arts). This movie has inspired many artists, including some music videos (admittedly not among the arts’ highest form), including REM’s “Losing my Religion” and Deep Forest’s “Sweet Lullaby. There is a heavy homo erotic subtext to many of the tableaux, and as a matter of fact, Paradjanov would later spent several years in jail in the Soviet Union accused, among other things, of homosexuality. Though released under international pressure, it would take him another 16 years to make another movie, shortly before his untimely death in 1990.
“Paradjanov made films not about how things are, but how they would have been had he been God.” Alexei Korotyukov
Time has not been kind to this film. Not yet 40 years old but the stock is worn down and the colours faded, with the reds and the blacks standing out. Which lends the images -symbolic, poignant and full of atmosphere- an extra dimension, since it renders the idea of films of the beginning of cinema. As a kind of bridge towards the era of this “hallucinatory epic account of the life of 18th century Armenian national poet Sayat Nova”. It remains a powerful and very beautiful film, not like any other. Time has been good to this film… “I don’t want to found any school”, Paradjanov said. Nevertheless he has set fantastic examples.
