Szerelmem, Elektraby Miklós Jancsó1h101974Hungary
The film"s page
The film is about the possible attitudes one can assume towards tyranny and dictatorship in the modern man's perspective. Oreste and Elektreia stand up against oppression of freedom in the name of justice, law, and revolution. On the day of Aegistos' accession to the throne - and which is supposed to be the day of telling the truth - people remain silent. The "cracked-brained" is the only one who instigates, waiting desperately for Oreste. Her brother arrives to take vengeance for his father, and they kill each other to rise later as phoenix birds again and again wherever freedom is wanted. A red colour helicopter takes them there.
