CERN CineClub - Ashik Kerib
→
Europe/Zurich
503/1-001 - Council Chamber (CERN)
Description
Directed by Sergueï Paradjanov (USSR, 1988)
original version azerbaijani/georgian; english subtitles; 73 minutes
Wandering minstrel Ashik Kerib falls in love with a rich merchant's daughter, but is spurned by her father and forced to roam the world for a thousand and one nights - but not before he's got the daughter to promise not to marry till his return. It's told in typical Paradjanov style, in a series of visually ravishing 'tableaux vivants' overlaid with Turkish and Azerbaijani folksongs.
