Oedipus Rex (2008) -- This is 71 minutes and 20 seconds of pure red screen. Nothing less and nothing more. Pure new absurdism. Bring lights down and take time to reflect. Absolute tragedy now is built in new aesthetics where freedom of expression allows unique experiences. Transform Sophocle's "Oedipus Rex" and take your own journey into "Oedipus Rex" film, directed by Nigel Tomm. Again and again. It's infinite. Shocking. Pure tranquility. Precise harmony of horror. As usual. Nigel Tomm keeps on top of the shape of drama to come.
