Disc 1. Nṛan guyně (the Armenian version, aka Parajanov's cut) -- Disc 2. [Special features].Director of photography, Suren Shahbazyan ; editor, Marfa Ponomarenko ; composer, Tigran Mansurian.Sofiko Chiaureli, Melkon Alekyan, Vilen Galstyan, Hovhannes Minasyan, Georgi Gegechkori, Spartak Baghashvili."A breathtaking fusion of poetry, ethnography, and cinema, Sergei Parajanov's masterwork overflows with unforgettable images and sounds. In a series a tableaux that blend the tactile with the abstract, The Color of Pomegranates revives the splendors of Armenian culture through the story of the eighteenth-century troubadour Sayat-Nova, charting his intellectual, artistic, and spiritual growth through iconographic compositions rather than traditional narrative. The film's tapestry of folklore and metaphor departed from the realism that dominated the Soviet cinema of its era, leading authorities to block its distribution, with rare underground screenings presenting it in a restructured form. This edition features the cut closest to Parajanov's original vision, in a restoration that brings new life to one of cinema's most enigmatic meditations on art and beauty"--ContainerRating: Not rated.DVD, NTSC, region 1; full screen (1.37:1); Dolby Digital mono.- Subjects: Biographical films.; Feature films.; Fiction films.; Historical films.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Sayatʻ-Nova, 1712-1795; Poets, Armenian;

- Ozone journal / by Balakian, Peter,1951-author.(CARDINAL)150908;
Includes bibliographical references."A sequel of sorts to "Ziggurat," published in the Phoenix Poets series in 2010, the title poem from "Ozone Journal" recounts the memory of the speaker's excavating the bones of Armenian genocide victims in the Syrian desert with a TV journalist crew in 2009. The speaker "dreams back," as it were, to the 1980s, when, as a young man in his thirties and caring for a young daughter after a recent divorce, he is having to juggle both personal and cultural/historical complexities living as a single parent in Manhattan. The poems create a montage that has the feel of history as lived experience, with the speaker struggling with the nature of memory as the poems move constantly back and forth to the Syrian desert, the dissolution of his marriage, visits and conversations with a cousin dying of AIDS, and encounters with famous jazz producers at Columbia Records to discuss music. In this book, Peter Balakian aims at the bigger picture of humanity's history of atrocity and trauma, but through short vignettes grounded in everyday situations, and in particular times and places"--Publisher's info.- Subjects: Poetry.;
