Along with Andrei Tarkovsky, filmmaker Sergei Paradjanov is perhaps one of the most popular and beloved directors of the former Soviet Union. Interestingly, both men not only shared a deep friendship with each other and supported the other’s artistic endeavors, but also quite frequently had trouble with the Soviet authorities for the nature of their films. In his 1986 published essay “Sculpting in Time”, Tarkovsky mentions his frustrations with a Ministry of Culture that had very strict, and of course ideology-friendly ideas about how a film should look like, who the characters and what the plot structure should be. While Paradjanov followed these principles in his early career, he later changed the nature of his work, famously calling all of his films before 1965 “garbage”.
