Review of Ashik Kerib (1988) by Ru H — 15 Aug 2010
A true masterpiece - an exploration of Azeri culture, national costumes, music, etc. Sergei Parajanov was called "enemy of the Armenian state" after directing this movie about Azerbaijan (Azerbaijan and Armenia were and still are involved in a territorial dispute, which resulted in tragic losses for both sides - bloodshed, refugees, etc.).
Parajanov proved to be a true artist and finished the movie despite pressure from his government.
Brilliant film - thumbs WAY UP. I would say one of the top 5 films in the history of cinematography and film.
