| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Iphigenia |
| Euripides and Michael Cacoyannis (director of Zorba the Greek) combine creatively in this powerful anti-war film.
Essentially, this stunninglyly acted film dramatises, poignantly and shockingly, the repercussions on the innocent of the union of egomania, the ambition for power and warmongering. The juxtaposition of and intense tension between the male and female worlds, ie the violent vs the lifegivers, the state vs the family, is tightly contained within prisons within prisons. Just as the sacred deer is trapped and slaughtered by soldiers, so too the beautiful Iphigenia is trapped and slaughtered by the corruption of power and the lust for war. Agamennon is trapped by his ambition, pride and the military, consequently Clytemenestra is trapped by Agamemnon's decision to sacrifice their daughter. It is only the innocent Iphigenia who emerges with phenomenal human dignity thereby intensifying the personal and universal tragedy caused by war and egomanic power. Iphigenia, is both ancient and.... present in the slaughtered children in Iraq. |
