In Miklos Jancso's avant garde take on the Sophocles myth ELECTRA, MY LOVE, Electra is branded a madwoman for insisting over the course of fifteen years that her father King Agamemnon was murdered by the current king Aegisthus and that her brother Orestes will one day return and avenge their father's death. Told in meticulously-choreographed long takes, the Ancient Greek myth takes on a timeless sense and political commentary on Hungarian society and government of the period.
