Savoy Theater
Sergei Paradjanov’s 1964 film is a boldly conceived and astonishingly photographed blend of enchanting mythology, hypnotic religious iconography and pagan magic. Deep in the Carpathian Mountains of 19th-century Ukraine, love, hate, life and death among the Hutsul people are as they’ve been since time began. While young Ivan’s mother mourns her husband’s brutal murder, Ivan is drawn to Marichka, the beautiful young daughter of the man who killed his father. But fate decrees that the two lovers will remain apart. 97 minutes, in Ukrainian with subtitles. Sponsored by Burlington College. Post-film event: Burlington College film studies professor Barry Snyder will discuss the film after the Saturday, March 28, show.
