Original title: ამბავი სურამის ციხისა

## Synopsis

The Legend of the Suram Fortress is a 1985 Soviet art film directed by Georgian director Sergei Parajanov and Georgian actor Dodo Abashidze. Sergei Parajanov's first film after 15 years of censorship in the Soviet Union, it is a film stylistically linked with his earlier The Color of Pomegranates (1968): The film consists of a series of tableaux; once again minimal dialogue is used; the film abounds in surreal, almost oneiric power.
