@Mahboob Van Oberstein it's not a russian film at all- film is about life of armenian poet and monk - Saiat Nova and author - Parajanovi by himself was an armenian moviemaker. The fact he lived in Soviet era doesn't makes his creations ,,russian" (I love russian cinema - nothing against it, but work of Parajanovi is clearly not russian - it's clearly built on caucasian ( georgian and armenian) christian cultures', pagan past's and persian culture's esthetics. Nor Armenia or Georgia is part of Russia and both have very strong cultural identities with longer cultural past, then Russian emperial past by itself.
@Mahboob Van Oberstein Don't need to generalize, it's wrong, you can say Armenian Soviet film, but not Russian anyway. There were 15 republics in Soviet Union , Russia one of them. The Color of Pomegranates directed in "Armenfilm" - Armenian film studio located in Yerevan, Armenia, by Armenians about Armenian poet and Armenian culture, in Armenian language (!). Its like insult to call it other way, again, call it Soviet or Soviet Armenian but not Russian.
For people wondering about the first woman vocal, it's a Bulgarian folk song called Prituri se Planinata, quite different than the Arabic song after that.
Paradjanov's film is a true masterpiece, and this is one of the greatest music videos ever. The song is also one of the greatest electronic tracks ever made.
@@adampaul454 I would say yes it definitely is among the best. Hearing this live and loud was amazing. Of course musical tastes are subjective, but it is difficult to come away from an experience like this feeling nothing.
Great song and great video, gorgeous mystical imagery. The two splice together seamlessly. Anyone notice the song's voice samples from Moses in The Ten Commandments movie?
This is by far the most creative and interesting piece of music that still is able to capture me. It is strange but memorizing, even the video seems to capture the song quite well, but what's amazing is that the artist did not create the video but simply put the two together. The song and movie are mysterious and in it's essence this song to me captures that fearful power of God which is great and the song on its own is poetic. You really have to be almost an artist to understand this song.
The video is actually from a 70s movie called "the colour of pomegranates." It was an artistic Armenian Independence peace, filmed during the Cold War. I recommend you look it up and watch it. :-)
The scene where they press the water out of the books with stones and then it shows the boy laying with them as they dry in the wind. That is so powerful. I will never get that image out of my head as long as I live.
If all the books in the world were burned, computers destroyed. Science, mathematics, physics, all things of this sort will be written again all the same. But religion would be lost.
This video... This beautiful song... Could be from 1997, yes. Congratulations to the Juno Reactor artists! It feels good to hear in 2022! Thank you! Unfortunately, no one makes music like you did anymore!
Nor does Ben Watkins (aka Juno Reactor). I bought the double vinyl Bible of Dreams when it came out and was waiting with so much expectations for his next record ( I think it was "Pistolero") but I was so dissappointed.
This makes me feel in touch with a part of my brain that I did not know I had. In it, I feel what it felt like in the old eras with persian castles, the smells, the gestures, the day by day sensations and that time before one goes to sleep. And at the same time, it fills me with thoughts of a crazy calm.
When I saw this on MTV at 2am I thought there was hope for something else this good on MTV, but sadly that era would be ending soon, back in 1998 or so. I did a lot of waiting for nothing. MTV was such a cruel tease!
What I would have given to see this on mtv back in the day. I just had to get lucky. I discovered it pre-algorithm, but can’t remember how I got wind of this.
Always loved this track! I go ape-shit crazy every time I hear it in the club! Just watched the movie & now I understand the video better! Thanks for the upload!
+Ryan Duty , the film maker Sergei Parajanov was a visionary and suffered for his art. You can find the film on youtube, it's called The Color of Pomegranates. Study it, it will blow your mind. I'm also very happy that Juno Reactor has brought back interest in this film by getting the rights to use it for his video. As you said, it's a perfect match.

Stealing Fire This is the original video, it's not "fanmade". Juno Reactor took some footage from "The color of Pomegranates" and made his own video, which matches perfectly with his song. Also, Nicolas Jaar made an alternative soundtrack for this film in recent times, because it's a masterpiece of surrealism and one of the most beautiful films ever made.

about video (sayat nova): "This film does not attempt to tell the life story of a poet.

My grandparents were lucky to be in Sergey's Parajanov filming group he was called my grandmother madam in tiger coat, and when my grandad were lagged out wether he get in one of the Georgias chapel's,Sergey shout - Arthur go inside the chapel!
