The Legend of the Suram Fortress (Georgian: แƒแƒ›แƒ‘แƒแƒ•แƒ˜ แƒกแƒฃแƒ แƒแƒ›แƒ˜แƒก แƒชแƒ˜แƒฎแƒ˜แƒกแƒ, romanized: ambavi suramis tsikhisa) is a 1985 Soviet art film directed by Georgian director Sergei Parajanov and Georgian actor Dodo Abashidze. Sergei Parajanov's first film after 15 years of censorship in the Soviet Union, it is a film stylistically linked with his earlier The Color of Pomegranates (1968): The film consists of a series of tableaux; once again minimal dialogue is used; the film abounds in surreal, almost oneiric power.
