Four reasons to see Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors:

 1.      It is the story of a great romance between lovers whose parents are enemies.

2.      Sergei Parajanov broke new ground with his astounding camera work.

3.      The film is a political statement against Soviet artistic repression for which Paradjanov paid with imprisonment.

4.      It provides a unique view of Hutzuls living in the Carpathians in western Ukraine, exploring their traditions and beliefs, customs, superstitions and fears, as well as their sufferings and joys.
