"Everything about the film is majestic." -The New York Times
This first feature by Amy Greenfield brings to the screen the story of the daughter of Oedipus in an emotionally relentless, visually stunning New Music Film Opera which challenges the conventions of narrative cinema to create a genre of its own. The 2,500 year old drama of the woman who defied the state to bury her brother is transformed through stark, ceaseless movement, haunting sounds and music (including themes from Glenn Branca, David Van Tieghem, Elliott Sharp and Diamanda Galas) and words of outcry against our world's injustice.
