This book is a collection of writings by twenty contributors on Soviet films shown at a conference of advanced Russian Study in 1986, which was intended to provide a historical perspective to the new developments.
In the chapter eight, Harbert Marshall discusses about the new model that emerges in Soviet film after the preceding tradition of soviet montage that was dominating the scene, and also the propagandistic tendency in soviet film that was authoritatively encouraged by the government, since any other kind of films were banned or not permitted to be produced.The author points out the existence of this new school in the Sayat Nova (Color of Pomegranate) which was spreading among the new filmmakers at the time and difference from the socialist realist naturalistic school of mainstream soviet films.
Here the direct account for this difference is given only in terms of artistic choices Paradjanov made, but the true reason is obvious. The film is full of parables and allegory which every soviet citizen would be able to understand. They all suggest their own nationalist undertone - Ukrainian, Georgian, or Armenian – which was banned and subject to prosecution. The author argues that in new films that came out around the same time, including Abuladze’s Prayer, and Tarkovsjy Andrei Rublev and Solaris, we find there is a common thread running through all the seemingly diverse films. They all express the age of cruelty and tragedy, tragedy of the innocent being slaughtered by implacable senseless social forces, namely of soviet government.
