Movie Reviews of Oedipus Rex

Movie Review: FUNNY
Summary: 1 Stars

I saw clips of this movie in my History of Western Theatre class for comic relief. The moment when Oedipus realizes what he had done had us laughing histerically (espicially the part when the chorus member falls on the floor like a bug)

This production is over done and really bad, and could really ruin some ones impression of the masterwork of greek literature.

Summary of Oedipus Rex

Filmed by the famed British actor/director Sir Tyrone Guthrie, this elegant version of Sophocles' important play adds a brilliant stroke--the actors wear masks just as the Greeks did in the playwright's day. The story of Oedipus' gradual discovery of his primal crime--killing his father and marrying his mother--has influenced many of the great plays, films and books of all time. When this landmark film production of one of the great dramas ever appeared, it was hailed from all corners: "Spectacular and awesome...this film is a jewel of great price!" raved The New York Times.
