It's impossible to watch even a few feet of film by Paradjanov without acknowledging his mastery of the medium and the originality of his vision.
Hal Hinson, Washington Post

Although Mr. Paradjanov has a reputation as a prankster, I don't think this is an elaborate joke.
Walter Goodman, New York Times
Rotten
The undeniable visual pleasures offered by the imaginative images and rich colours are unfortunately undercut by the stylised presentation.
