    'THE COLOR OF POMEGRANATES'
    by Keith Harris

    SPIN
    Sept 6 2012

    Directed by Sergei Parajanov, this 1968 Soviet film translates the
    biography of the martyred Armenian poet Sayat-Nova into a series of
    vivid, often static, and (to non-Armenians) all but incomprehensible
    images. Parajanov's use of traditional Armenian religious iconography
    was out of step with the U.S.S.R.'s commitment to socialist realism,
    and The Color of Pomegranates was a major reason reason that Parajanov
    landed in the gulag for four years. The film's trippy effects were
    a clear influence on Animal Collective's "visual album" ODDSAC.
