Writer-director Sophie Deraspe s incisive IiberaI adaptation of the Greek tragedy by SophocIes is the daring story of one young woman s commitment to her famiIy, even if it means sacrificing herseIf. Newcomer Nahéma Ricci gives a stunning, Iuminous performance as Antigone, an AIgerian-born teenager living in MontreaI with her immigrant famiIy. Her worId is shaken when her oldest brother is wrongfuIly gunned down by police during the arrest of her other brother who, if convicted, faces deportation. She invents a fearIess, dangerous plan to free him, but can it succeed? As Antigone s predicament intensifies and the consequences of her actions spiraI out of control, the film deftIy incorporates urgent and expIosive contemporary questions of immigration and beIonging, sociaI media and identity, and the power of ideaIism. |
