Movie Reviews of Antigone - Rites of Passion
Movie Review: An descent, powerful and emotional look on Antigone
Summary: 5 Stars
When I ordered it I did it because I knew that Diamanda Galas - my favorite artist - was partially responsible for the music. I'm usually very pre-occupied with modern "glances" on Ancient Hellenic tragedies. It is my belief that a remake of something as classical, as powerfull and as timelessly meaningful as every Ancient Hellenic tragedy is can be eigther a masterpiece or a complete disaster.The first few minutes that I watched, I felt that it would be a disaster but I thought "what the hell, I gave my money to buy this DVD so I'll watch it to the end". And so I did.
I'm not in a position that makes me to say only that I fortunately didn't switch off my DVD player. I'm in the position to say that I feel extremely previleged to have Amy Greenfield's work on Antigone. And that's because I figured out that she has kept a very basic element of Ancient Hellenic tragedy. The slow and escelating motivation of the viewers interest for the play. Antigone realy gets more and more interesting as the minutes pass.
I won't get involved in a detailed analysis of the film witch realy exposes its meanings and its power little be little. I just want to say that Amy Greenfield did such a splendid work that she deserves to claim that she did a remake equal only to masterpieces.
