Homage to Chagall: The Colours of Love is a 1977 Canadian documentary film about artist Marc Chagall directed by Harry Rasky. It was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.[1][2]

Synopsis

Imaginatively utilizing over 300 mosaics, stained-glass windows, murals and paintings, plus an in-depth interview with the famous Russian artist himself, Homage to Chagall is both a tribute to and a celebration of a life of intense productivity that encompassed everything from primitive mysticism to cubist intellectuality. The Directors Guild of America awarded Rasky with Outstanding Direction of a Documentary.
