Pomegranate Tree

About This Movie

So, 'Pomegranate Tree' is quite a trip, really. It feels like you’ve wandered into a dream painted by Persian artisans and then interrupted by the chaos of Langer's sketches. The film’s pacing is deliberately slow, almost meditative, which really lets the viewer soak in the lush visuals and the bizarre interplay of sensuality and aggression. It’s shot on Super 8 and then transferred to 16mm, giving it this grainy, tactile quality that’s quite appealing. The atmosphere is thick with a sense of ritual and unease, almost like you’re peeking into someone’s private world. It’s not your typical narrative, but that's what makes it stand out in a collection - it’s a unique piece of experimental cinema that challenges your perceptions.

'Pomegranate Tree' is a bit of a rarity, especially for collectors who appreciate experimental cinema. Its original Super 8 format adds to its charm, though of course, the transition to 16mm has created some debate on how much was lost in the process. It doesn’t pop up often at auctions or conventions, so there's definitely interest among those who seek out unconventional films. The film's unique aesthetic and ambiance make it a curious find for anyone looking to expand their collection into the realm of art-house and experimental works.
