Antigone (1961)

Not Rated (US) | Greece | Greek | 93 min
Directed by: Yorgos Tzavellas
7.2

The tragic tale of King Oedipus, who ruled over the city of Thebes, unfolds with a series of horrific events. Unknowingly, he killed his father and married his mother, resulting in four children--two sons, Eteocles and Polynices, and two daughters, Ismene and Antigone. A calamitous clash between the brothers for the throne leads to Creon, the new monarch, issuing a decree that the body of the traitorous Polynices should be left unburied. However, Antigone, driven by devotion, defies the royal order and buries her brother. This act of reckless rebellion leads to her imprisonment in the castle's cold dungeons, where she faces a cruel fate. The blind prophet of Apollo, Tiresias, warns of the Gods' wrath, unaware that the arrogant hubris has already triggered an irreversible chain of events.
