"The Plea," from Tengiz Abuladze is the first of a trilogy and it is

one of the most powerfully visual films you'll see, post-silent era.
In a lyrical style, Abuladze shows in several vignettes the fate of men who attempt to break the endless cycle of vengeance which characterized inter-clan warfare for centuries.
This film is very close to the style of Dreyer's, "The Passion of Joan of Arc," in that dialogue is almost superfluous.
If you approach this film as a reader does poetry, i.e. don't expect it to be similar to a novel, you will richly be rewarded.

I suppose you are moving towards the Repentance... curious about your reaction to it.

You seem to love visually beautiful films. So my STRONGEST recommendation would be for Color of Pomegranates. I can't think of anything so decadently and slavishly devoted to images... even the Prospero's Books doesn't come close in my mind.
- Pomegranates: I've seen several of the guys films and really don't care - tinear 16:22:14 03/07/10 (1)
  for them, visuals aside.
  I am moving towards Repentance..... :-)
  - OOps. I have seen Repentance. Didn't like it much. Easy targeting. nt - tinear 16:23:31 03/07/10 (0)
