Oedipus(2018)

Oedipus is a film that reimagines the ancient Greek tragedy through a contemporary lens, set in the Larzac region of modern France. The story traces the life of the Theban king before, during, and after the catastrophic events that define his fate. Rather than a traditional staging, the narrative unfolds partly in a theater's dressing rooms, where a Greek chorus and its leader prepare for performance. The film features actors with disabilities in its cast, bringing fresh perspective to one of literature's most enduring tales of hubris and downfall. This unconventional adaptation explores themes of destiny, identity, and human resilience while honoring the classical source material through an innovative theatrical framework.
