Elektra
Directed By: Brian Large
April 10, 1989 / German / 109 mins
In this modern, expressionistic retelling of literature’s most dysfunctional family, Elektra grieves over the murder of her father. This staging of Strauss and Hofmannsthal’s Elektra was recorded at the Vienna State Opera house and is one of the glories of live opera on film.
