IPHIGENIA Director: Michael CacoyannisCast: Irene Papas, Tatiana Papamoschou, Kostas Kazakos, Costas Carras, Christos Tsagas, Panos Mihalopoulos and Dimitri Aronis The Greek army is about to set sail to wage war on Troy, but the winds refuse to blow. Their leader, King Agamemnon, accidentally slays a sacred deer. His punishment from the gods is to sacrifice his daughter Iphigenia. Based on the classic Greek tragedy by Euripides (485-406 BC.), Michael Cacoyannis' film is both stunning and moving. A talented cast, headed by Irene Papas, give first-rate performances and do wonders with this stirring ancient drama. The film brilliantly captures the stark mood of the myth.
