It is true the more knowledge of the play by Sophocles and of Greek plays in general the more you can appreciate this rendition. However the interesting thing about this presentation is you can start from ground zero and come away with everything the tragedy is about. Even though the story is well know I will not go through it incase this is your first time.
There is an introduction to bring you up to date from Oedipus through his descendents and history to today where you meet Antigone and her sister Ismene. Their decisions partially ordained and those of the new king Creon decide the outcome. You may find yourself quoting this play as you would Shakespeare?s plays.
The reason for watching it multiple times is the first time around you may be busy reading the subtitles of which some flash and are gone. The second time around you may keep an eye on the acting. The third you will get used to the Greek and even if you do not speak it you will find much filled in that was not sub titled. By now you will be hooked and have to watch it periodically.

Useful for comparative interpretations and presentations of Greek Drama. As a Classical Studies student I found it interesting and affordable.

I'm teaching adults in Classical subjects. I find the film very close to the original greek tekst and therefore I can recommend it to my pupils.
I really also want to by Ifigenia in Aulis - but it isn't possible for me on Amazone.UK. I can find it on Amazon.us, but I'm not aloud to buy it. I would appreciate the possibility vere much.
