The Legend of the Surami Fortress (1985)


The Legend of Suram Fortress
or The Legend of the Surami Fortress (take your pick – in Georgian script it's called ამბავი სურამის ციხისა) is a sumptuous film about a Georgian legend that is composed beautifully and has gorgeous costumes. It has a visual poetry that functions more like a weird 1960s piece of theatre than anything else. I was into it.
