Emma says her first word and Ross thinks it is not a real word, but it is. Chandler waits for a call to get a new better paying job.

"Friends"The One with the LotteryTrivia

Sergei Parajanov's 1968 "Sayat Nova" was censored, re-cut, renamed (The Color of Pomegranate) and banned; its 1969 behind-the-scenes documentary (Tsvet armyanskoy zemli (1969)) was banned and the footage reappeared 20 years later in Mikhail Vartanov's Parajanov: The Last Spring (1992), which features "Sayat Nova" and explains its unique film language.



The version available on DVD now was first released in its entirety in 1992. This is the version that was submitted to the Soviet censors in 1969 and rejected and re-cut considerably. There is a fuller version, longer than the director's cut still in the archives (somewhere) of Armenfilms.



Shown at the 1980 New York Film Festival without English subtitles. However for later release subtitles were added.
