Die Antigone des Sophokles nach der Hölderlinschen Übertragung für die Bühne bearbeitet von Brecht 1948 (Suhrkamp Verlag)

A fearless Antigone, refusing to allow the dishonored body of her murdered brother Polynices to be devoured by vultures and dogs, defies the Thebian tyrant Creon (Werner Rehm) by burying him. Astrid Ofner plays the titular role of Antigone, accompanied by Ursula Ofner as her sister Ismene, with Hans Diehl and Kurt Radeke as the elderly men. The film, directed by Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, features a unique filmmaking style, with minimal camera movements and a focus on the characters' body language and dialogue.
