Review: Shadow of Forgotten Ancestors
Larisa Kadochnikova's above movie has been rated as one of the most vivid and gratifying films, totally off the track from unorthodox cinema, ever produced in the Soviet Union. The storyline revolves around two separated lovers caught in a family feud. The tragic scenes the lovers go through, has been poignantly recreated. The film created a stir worldwide by its bold direction, brilliant cinematography, and an outstanding musical score. Sergei Parajanov, the director gives an impressionistic treatment of a Carpathian legend. [4]
Other critical acclaims by film critics include, Jonathan Rosenbaum, The Chicago Reader, who rated the film as, ASTONISHING... EXTRAORDINARY... One of the supreme works of Soviet Cinema. Edward Guthman from the San Francisco Chronicle eulogized it thus: "(Paradjanov's) Greatest Work ...full of visual surprises and fearless leaps in style". [4]
