The film is full of wit and sensuality, and is as topical as today's headlines.
Oedipus Rex
A dark and riveting retelling of the classic Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex. Unknown to himself, Oedipus kills his father and marries his mother. When the truth is discovered, he puts out his eyes and Oedipus wanders the streets until he is found by his daughter, Antigone, a common blind beggar.
