 Rating:  - Be warned...OK, so I didn't read the "fine print". I ordered this DVD for my English class. When it arrived, I was distressed to see in fine print across the case, "Greek with English subtitles". My tenth graders were good sports about it, but the subtitles were small on my classroom's 25 inch screen. Just an FYI... Rating: - Good film, but DVD suffers from poor transfer qualityIrene Pappas is terrific as Antigone, and Manos Katrakis very impressive as Creon (with occasional moments of overacting).

I imagine that everyone who would order this knows the story, so no need to go into it. The passion and range of Ms. Pappas is incredible. This is an extremely high quality presentation. Every lover of Greek theater should have this! Rating: - Irene Pappas performs Sophocles's "Antigone" in GreekThis 1961 version of Sophocle's tragic drama "Antigone" will not work as an introduction to Greek tragedy. The play is performed in Greek (with subtitles), so I would never recommend it as the first exposure any one has to the performance of an ancient play; there is a 1972 version with Genevieve Bujold that would better serve. However, this particular version does offer Irene Pappas, long considered one of the greatest of Greek actresses, in one of the greatest roles in the nation's history (the ... Read More |
