comment |
Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors (Ukrainian:Тіні забутих предків, romanized: Tini zabutykh predkiv) is a 1965 Soviet film made in the Ukrainian SSR, directed by Sergei Parajanov and based off a book by Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky.The film tells the story of Ivan and Marichka, a pair of young Star-Crossed Lovers living in a Hutsul community in the Carpathian mountains.The film's surrealist style clashed with the prevailing Socialist Realism of the time, angering the Soviet authorities and contributing to the suppression of Parajanov's films. It is considered to be the most internationally heralded Ukrainian film in history and a classic of Ukrainian "magical realist" cinema. |

Gorgeous Period Dress: The film earned a lot of praise for its beautiful costuming, accurately replicating Hutsul styles. This is particularly noticeable during the wedding. |

Murderer P.O.V.: Inverted. We see the slaying of Ivan's father from the father's POV. Marichka's father hacks at the POV, causing red to drip down the lens. |

Bar Brawl: Ivan picks a fight with the sorcerer after watching him slap around one of Ivan's friends and embrace Ivan's wife in a bar. Everyone carries axes in Hutsul culture, so the brawl turns deadly. |

Delicate and Sickly: Marichka is not very strong. She collapses during a village festival from dancing too much, causing Ivan to have to carry her away. She later makes a wrong step while rescuing a lamb and falls into a river, drowning. |

Died Happily Ever After: Mortally wounded and stumbling through the forest, Ivan smiles as Marichka's ghost seems to be walking in the same woods. She reaches out to touch him, and he dies, though the scream might suggest it's not the happiest ending. |

Deliberately Monochrome: As a cost-saving device, some scenes are shot in black and white. These are mostly when Ivan leaves the village to work and during his period of mourning. |
