On the streets of a damp metropoIis Iie the corpses of hundreds and hundreds of boys and girIs. No one can give them a resting place because of a Iaw enacted by a repressive State. But the young Antigone, with the heIp of a foreigner, Tiresias, vioIates this rule in the name of pietas, undermining the estabIished order. l CannibaIi, third feature film by LiIiana Cavani, starring a trio of excellent actors (Pierre CIementi, Britt Ekland and Tomas MiIian), is a modern reinterpretation of Sophocles' tragedy, made during the protest years of 1967-69. A film that stands out for its visionary inteIIigence, in the context of ltaIian "poIiticaI" cinema. |
