I'm currently and aggressively looking for this title on Laserdisc:

Color of Pomegranates, The (1968) [PILF-1663]

I'm quite head over heels for a girl I have begun to know, she has damn good taste and expressed how much she wants to watch this film. We both decided we would watch it together. I understand there are other avenues to find a copy but, I thought this would be a unique special way to do so!

Anyone let me know if you have a copy you could part with and sell to me. You would make my day, thanks!

That version probably doesn't have any English soundtrack or subtitles.

As far as I understand this release has the original (Armenian) soundtrack with added Japanese subtitles. Although, the film is all but a few lines devoid of dialog! As well we both want to watch the film for it's cinematography and artistic merits.

If you don't mind paying a broker to bid/receive/reship+fees, there is a LD copy on Yahoo Auctions:

LD ■ ざくろの色 ■ 幽閉された詩人の魂 S・パラジャ-ノフ

BIN @ US$34, with all reshipping+fees, you're probably looking at around US$60~70 in total.

Your help is much appreciated.

Sadly by the time I got home from work the auction had already ended, so I could not pursue that avenue.

So close...

I see that title pop up on Yahoo Japan from time to time. If I see it again, I'll post here.
