(New print) Faithful screen adaptation of Euripides’ tragedy with its heroes buffeted by the gods.

Peter Strickland - ROM/GB/H – 2009 – fictie / fiction – kleur / couleur – 82’ – VO / OV – NL OND / STT FR

First film by Briton Peter Strickland who sets his unnerving story in idyllic and wild Romanian countryside. The titular heroine sets out with her son sets out in search of the men who raped her 10 years earlier. At once a road movie, a nature ramble, a tale for adults about guilt and a harsh story of revenge, Strickland’s film has many moods and tones, underlining that the relationship between victim and perpetrator is never simple… With: Hilda Petèr, Nobert Tankò
