[Machine Translation] This year marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sergei Paradjanov, a legendary Armenian visual poet who has captivated film and art fans around the world, and is now being re-released as a long-awaited masterpiece! Paradjanov's masterpiece, a masterpiece in the history of cinema, depicts the life of the 18th century Armenian court poet Sayat Nova, whose talent was recognized in Armenia. The film expresses a mystical poetic world with gorgeous colors and stylistic beauty, and has been acclaimed by directors and creators around the world, including Jean-Luc Godard, Michelangelo Antonioni, Pier Paolo Pasolini, Luchino Visconti, Federico Fellini, Martin Scorsese, and his close friend Andrei Tarkovsky. The film has had a profound influence on directors and creators around the world (most recently, it is known as a tribute to Lady Gaga in her "911" music video). The film was originally produced by Paradjanov as Sayat Nova, but was censored by the Soviet authorities (now in Russia), and was re-edited by Sergei Yutkevich and released in 1971 under the title The Color of Pomegranates (all theatrically released versions in Japan are this 73-minute Soviet version). The film was edited and released in 1971 under the title The Color of Pomegranates. --In the film, the court poet Sayat falls in love with the queen and expresses her feelings through poetry and zither playing. But his love does not bear fruit, and Sayat is imprisoned in a monastery. The story consists of eight chapters: "The Poet's Childhood," "The Poet's Youth," "The King's House," "The Monastery," "The Poet's Dream," "The Poet's Old Age," "Meeting with the Angel of Death," and "The Poet's Death. The poems of Sayat Nova are inserted in place of dialogues, and the beautiful, picturesque images weave together the life of the poet, full of love and talent, and the passions and emotions of the people who lived during his time. Includes explanatory leaflet and postcard (tentative). The master is the same as the Blu-ray/DVD released by Kinokuniya Shoten in April, 2018. Sound: Armenian ( Mono 2ch / Dolby Digital )
