The Ancient Greek tragedy is vividly brought to the screen by Michael Cacoyannis ("Zorba the Greek") and bolstered by an "Electra"-fying lead performance from Irene Papas. Here, Electra and brother Orestes (Yannis Fertis) plot to kill their mother after the siblings come to believe she murdered their father. This was the first in Cacoyannis' Euripides trilogy that included "The Trojan Women" and "Iphiginea." 113 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Greek Dolby Digital mono, Subtitles: English. In Greek with English subtitles.
