"Based on the short story by Myhaylo Kotsyubynsky.

Sergei Paradjanov's "Shadows..." made real sensation, the wopld got new cinematographic genius, who gave a cinematographic art the vanguard and unique cinema language of "picturesque" expression. For two years film collected over 30 prizes on international festivals in 21 countries. This fact is marked even in Book of records of Guinness. The Paradzhanov's name became as known as the names of Fellini, Antonioni, Godar, Kurosava.

Two old Gutsulian families quarrelled for decades. But pure love of young branches of these families (Ivan and Marichka) was born among fury and revenge. A lot of tests should be overcome by lovers, before they will be together forever..."

This disc is fantastic!!! An absulute must-have for any lovers of Ukrainian classic films. No excuse if you only know English - it has English sub-titles!

This is a restored version by Ruscico (too bad that no Ukrainian companies took this on), and the menus, and extra features are excellent. This film is a masterpiece and it was a joy to see such a professionally presented issue.
