Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors

Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors, alternatively translated into English as Shadows of Our Forgotten Ancestors or Shadows of Our Ancestors (Ukrainian: «Тіні забутих предків», romanized: Tini zabutykh predkiv, pronounced [ˈt⁽ʲ⁾in⁽ʲ⁾i zɐˈbutɪx ˈprɛdkiu̯]), also known in English under the alternative title Wild Horses of Fire and under the mistaken title of In the Shadow of the Past, is a 1965 Soviet-era Ukrainian film directed by Sergei Parajanov. Based on the 1911 novel Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors by Ukrainian author Mykhailo Kotsiubynsky, it tells a "Romeo and Juliet tale" of young Ukrainian Hutsul lovers trapped on opposite sides of a Carpathian family blood feud. The film was Parajanov's first major work and earned him international acclaim for its rich use of costume and colour.
