"Sayat Nova" (also called "The Color of Pomegranates") is probably the best example of a movie that is not for people with short attention spans. You see, there is almost no dialogue in it; the movie is mostly about imagery. You will most likely get completely befuddled if you do not know the subject matter (it's about Armenian poet Sayat Nova). As for me, I found Sergey Paradjanov's use of poetic imagery quite fascinating. And just as an extra thing: that woman playing with the lace was actually kind of hot the way that Natalie Wood was. But my point is that "Sayat Nova" will not appeal to people who sit around watching movies directed by Michael Bay or produced by Jerry Bruckheimer.
