one of the most powerfully visual films you'll see, post-silent era.
In a lyrical style, Abuladze shows in several vignettes the fate of men who attempt to break the endless cycle of vengeance which characterized inter-clan warfare for centuries.
This film is very close to the style of Dreyer's, "The Passion of Joan of Arc," in that dialogue is almost superfluous.
If you approach this film as a reader does poetry, i.e. don't expect it to be similar to a novel, you will richly be rewarded.
