FLOWER ON THE STONE

Tsvetok na kamne

Directed by Sergei Parajanov
Soviet Union, 1962
Drama

Synopsis

Full of arresting chiaroscuro images, Paradjanov’s only monochrome film plays like a noir thriller. Set in a mining town in the Donets Basin, it centres on a clash (allegorical?) between the political establishment and a religious cult which infiltrates the community.
