Movie Reviews of Stravinsky - Oedipus Rex
Movie Review: didn't work for me
Summary: 3 Stars
The fake heads hovering over the real heads did not work for me --
especially when the camera zoomed onto a real head, partially made-up to
look like the costumed body below the fake head. Creon in particular
was ludicrous.
In general, I felt that the staging fought for attention with the music
instead of supporting the music.
And here's a minor point. Repeated phrases frequently went unsubtitled.
This was unsettling.
Overall, a nice try. I was hoping for better from the director
of the Titus Andronicus movie.
