DESCRIPTION:»I will take revenge on the world with love.« Sergey Paradjan
 ov Legend tells us about the world of the famous film director Sergey Para
 djanov\, who remains practically unknown in the West. His works\, which ha
 ve been referenced by Lady Gaga among others\, reflect the ethnic diversit
 y of the regions around the Caucasus. His films bring their stories and le
 gends to life.\n\nLegend is not just another biography of a leading artist
 . Serebrennikov’s text works with Paradjanov’s visual language to pres
 ent his world as a projection of our desires. Its poetic tapestry recounts
  worlds of colour and imagery\, and the struggles of unique people and the
 ir cultures. These are eternal stories about freedom and the fight to atta
 in it\, about beauty and life’s victory over death.Kirill Serebrennikov:
 »Paradjanov is an artist\, a poet\, who thinks and speaks to the audience
  not in the usual narrative way\, but in visual images\, pictures. These i
 mages are always bright\, emotional\, meaningful and paradoxical. In some 
 ways\, this is the absolute of visual cinema. An explosion of color\, an e
 xplosion of fantasy\, an explosion of images burns us immensely\, and rema
 ins with us as a burn mark forever. The list of Paradjanov's films\, that 
 he was not able to direct\, unfairly exceeds the list of the works that he
  managed to produce. Over the past few years\, many books and articles wit
 h his unpublished\, banned or lost scripts and explications have been rele
 ased. There is a whole community of fans and connoisseurs of Sergey Paradj
 anov. Bit by bit they collect what belongs to Paradjanov’s world: collag
 es\, apocrypha\, aphorisms and anecdotes\, drawings\, letters.\n\nParadjan
 ov’s films show that any beauty demands cruelty and is very often owed t
 o human blood and sacrifice. The whole life of Sergey Paradjanov is a sacr
 ifice\, that he made\, so that there would be as much beauty in the world\
 , as possible.«
