Title: the Color of Pomegranates (1970) Post by: lester1/2jr on August 26, 2008, 10:00:52 AM This art film is so far beyond self parody that you have to love it. the director filmed some really strange costumed people in and around a beautiful old church. They sort of ...move around in between thousand year old frescos dressed as knights and peasants. One woman will emerge from behind a bunch of hanging rugs with a hand mirror, wipe the mirror on her bum, then admire herself in it. No offense to serious fans of this movie but it is strange with a capital S. Armenian iconography interlaced with surrealist and modern dance type of business. It was better than the democratic convention and having just run a few miles I was reading for something slow and sort of difficult so be similarly prepared if you want to take on the pomegranate challenge.
