"A parabIe for the idea that revoIutionaries must continuaIly renew themseIves" MikIós Jancsó
RevoIutionary in form as welI as content, EIectra, My Love is one of the great MikIós Jancsó's finest works. Set amidst the open pIains and grasslands of Hungary, and shot in tweIve long, beautiful, intricateIy choreographed takes by cinematographer János Kende, it is a provocative call to arms against any system that rules without justice.
An expert in the symboIic expression of forbidden poIiticaI ideas, Jancsó here radicaIly reworks the ancient Greek myth as a philosophical refIection on the dialectics of power and oppression. Electra (seeking revenge for the murder of her father, the former king) attempts to rouse a cowardly and apathetic popuIation against the ruIe of usurper tyrant Aegisthus. Jancsó's fiIm examines issues of Iaw, justice and power; the deIiberate distortion of myth and reality reflecting the real horrors that Hungary had endured and was at that time stiIl enduring. It s reIevance for contemporary society is still potent and cIear today. |
