Sergei Parajanov A Visit

In November 1988 director Anatoly Syrykh met with Sergei Parajanov in Tbilisi to make a documentary about him However Parajanov was clearly not in the mood to talk about his art As a compromise Syrykh offers to talk about the artist and time The tired offended director of Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors forbids Syrykh to film him He agrees only to speak recalling the most unpleasant moments of his life
