Almost all of the unusual images in The Color of Pomegranates are a literal reading of the imagery of the traditional poetry it was based on. Sheep (Christ's flock) enter a church, a poet grows up among books, an angel appears to him, the lover's heart overflows and so does his cup. This has not got much to do with the psychic automatism and free associations of surrealism.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18174466.post-14003980661267006092007-06-24T14:04:00.000-07:002007-06-24T14:04:00.000-07:00Isn't Parajanov from Azerbejan?
