Based on the Greek tragedy about a man who, unaware of his true parentage, kills his father and marries his mother.
Engaging, slow-paced retelling of the Greek classic, beautifully set in Moroccan landscape, is framed within a modern story which barely corresponds to the historic tale.
Halliwell**: "Austerely involving adaptation of the Greek tragedy, sandwiched between scenes set in modern Italy."
Maltin**1/2: "Pictorially arresting but dull, disappointing adaptation..."
