Sergei Parajanov: The Rebel

Country: France, Language: French, 52 mins

Original Title

Sergueï Paradjanov, le rebelle
  • Director: Patrick Cazals

CGiii Comment

This documentary is not a straightforward portrait of Armenian film director Sergei Paradjanov’s life, but rather a fluid celebration of his talent and creativity. Focusing on the collages he produced during his years in prison, and featuring interviews with the director himself, Cazals’ film demonstrates the scope of Paradjanov’s artistic vision, lovingly commemorating this rebel of art cinema.


Cine´aste arme´nien et ge´orgien de Tbilissi (Ge´orgie), mort en juillet 1990, Paradjanov est conside´re´ comme l’un des grands cine´astes du XXe sie`cle. Il laisse une œuvre inacheve´e mais essentielle pour l’histoire du cine´ma russe et sovie´tique car tre`s originale et repre´sentative de la richesse ethnique des peuples caucasiens. Re´alise´ dans sa demeure e´trange, atelier et splendide capharnau¨m, mais aussi sur le tournage de son dernier film Achik Ke´rib, au Muse´e Paradjanov d’Erevan, a` Paris comme a` Tbilissi, ce portrait d’un homme meurtri mais farouchement libre s’attache aussi aux talents paralle`les du cine´aste (peintre, de´corateur, styliste...).
