Electra, My Love

In this haunting and visually stunning Hungarian drama, director Miklós Jancsó reimagines the ancient Greek myth of Electra in a dystopian, archaic world where a tyrant faces rebellion by the downtrodden. Set fifteen years after Agamemnon's death, the film tells the story of Elektra, who seeks revenge against her uncle Aegisthus, who conspired with her mother to kill her father. With its innovative use of long takes and striking visuals, "Electra, My Love" is both a powerful allegory for revolution and a beautiful work of cinematic art.
