Parajanov, Little Flower on the Stone, 1962
a new mining town appears in the steppe of Donetsk; the town is growing impetuosly and the entusiastic work of the Komsomol members is joyously knitted with stories of love; there are at least two such stories; the young brigadier Grigory falls for comrade Lyuda (a blonde), the secretary of the Komsomol organization; he makes all kind of pranks, just to capture her attention; but when Grigoy is alone with Lyuda, he becomes shy, as it happens in so many love stories; as for the second story, it is linked to Christina, a beautiful girl (brunette) who falls under the influence of some religious group; fortunately another Komsomolets (comrade Arsen this time) falls for the girl and, as you should know by now, love cures everything; oh, those Russians (info source: wiki)
At least, a film by Parajanov that doesn't look Parajanov at all.
... and yet, somewhere by the middle of this film, a surrealist image appears as out of nowhere ... that is Parajanov ... I'll let you the pleasure to discover it
