So, Sergei Parajanov, The Exile is a fascinating dive into the mind of a filmmaker who really pushed boundaries.

You get this raw look at his life and the cultural landscape during Gorbachev’s Perestroika that was quite significant in the USSR. The pacing meanders, almost like a conversation that takes its time, allowing you to soak in his thoughts about film and freedom. Visually, it has a certain rough charm, fitting for someone who was both a victim and a master of the system he navigated. The atmosphere is reflective, layered with nostalgia and an unvarnished honesty about art and life.
