Cavalos de Fogo
Teni Zabytykh Predkov
Ucrânia, 1964
Dir.: Sergei Paradjanov
"Paradjanov's startling camerawork is mesmerizing, richly symbolic, and highly original. The tall, thin trees (shot upward), strips of cloth drying in the field, and Ivan's raft create an exaggerated linearity, a sense of continuity, that provides a paradox to the brevity of their existence, and also symbolizes the eternity of true love. Furthermore, the pervasive religious images in the film: Marichka's crucifix, the lamb grazing at a cross grave marker, Marichka's apparition against the window crossbrace, and The Pieta epilogue, are transfigurations of the purity of love. The color composition is bizarre and unnatural: pale, washed, glacial, almost monochromatic hues, infused with jarring touches of red and yellow (note the saturation of red at scene changes). The odd color palette suggests emotional incongruence - a love that cannot materialize - an unrequited passion. This is a visionary film, an homage to the dignity of human struggle, and a testament to the inexorable power of destiny." Strictly Film School
