Antigone/Rites of Passion (1990)
Disgusting
"Antigone: Rites of Passion" truly is a Greek tragedy. And by that I mean that it is tragic how transvestite director Amy Greenfield butchered this Greek legend. I am pretty sure my nine year old nephew could've directed this "movie" better than Greenfield. The plot was supposed to deal with the controversy started when Antigone attempts to bury her brother against Creon's wishes. He then sentences her to be killed, but a blind oracle tells him to right his wrongs or death would follow. But, of course, Greenfield decides to follow no plot, therefore, destroying a Greek myth. Greenfield's cast choices were iffy at best. It decided to play the part of Antigone. The budget must've been blown on steroids because Greenfield couldn't afford to hire two different actors for the parts of Oedipus and Creon. Now, the acting itself was horrendous. It hurt my eyes so much that I had to watch it in parts, spanning four days. My colleagues could be seen stabbing their own eyes with writing utensils, then using the blood smeared pens to write the review. This "movie" is an abomination and all its copies should be burned by the fires of Hell.
