This dense, visually potent political allegory from the Ukraine was directed by Sergei Parajanov’s virtuoso cinematographer and based loosely on Parajanov’s own prison experience in the late days of Communism. A man escapes from a notorious jail in the Ukraine and takes refuge in a huge hammer-and-sickle monument. The Los Angeles Times: "A film of astonishing beauty."
