Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

SparkMore n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

Freeman This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Sachin Chavan If you agree that the medium of movie films has a lot to do with colours, lights and sounds, you should see this 1964 Georgian movie. The storyline is simple - it's a tragic folklore of a village hero from 19th century Georgia. It has the elements of love and revenge, but that's not what you see this movie for. I haven't seen one like this before - a movie whose each frame bursts with color (at times deliberate lack of it) bringing a stream of beautiful art passing before your eyes! The sound complements it too with folk music and sounds of life. The whole experience is magnetic and artful. And that it came from Georgian cinema in the 1960's would surprise you. But even without that prejudice, this is a movie that will delight you like no other. It deserves the label 'Poetry in motion'

tsimshotsui Definitely visually stunning and the camera work and editing was full of energy. The narrative style kind of reminds me of Brazilian Cinema Novo works: the sometimes desperate, brash, loud line delivery, the magical realism, and the kind of hallucinatory style of story-telling. This movie definitely needs to be watched at least once to process some parts. I've seen some describe the main narrative as Romeo and Juliet but that's kind of unfair on the Juliet of this story because Romeo definitely stayed way longer than she did.

leonid-10 I hate looking at dead human bodies. I hate funerals and especially lengthy funeral processions. I think when a person dies; the body should be disposed of as quickly and as inconspicuously as possible. This was the reason enough for me to dislike this movie. I do not appreciate its obsession with death and funeral rituals. I can imagine some viewers may find it worthy of watching, not me.What else is in the movie? Sad, monotonous folk songs, folk dances, awful musical score are supposed to fit with that (unspecified) historical period; unnaturally looking costumes clumsily worn by the actors and extras; practically no plot to speak of, and no meaningful dialog; beautiful mountains and woods shot with irritatingly jerky moving camera; flashing colors from time to time for no reason, surprisingly inept, unprofessionally looking and talking actors.*** for (mostly unsuccessful) effort

ksandness I first saw this film in 1973 when it was relatively new, and one of my most vivid memories of it was the director's marvelous use of rich colors. The colors were still pretty intense when I saw the film again in about 1979.Then I saw it at the Portland Art Museum in about 2002, and I was disappointed to see how much the colors had faded. A friend who had not seen it before agreed that the photography was excellent overall, that the soundtrack of folk music was thrilling, and that the story was reminiscent of magical realism. But the colors had all gone drab.I hope that whoever is doing digital restoration these days has this movie on their list.
