The Year of the Cannibals

This story of youthful rebellion is taken from the ancient Greek classic "Antigone." The setting is modern times and Britt Eklund plays Antigone in a fictitious land where reality is suspended. Haimon (Milian) goes against the wishes of his father and the prime minister by wanting to become an animal. Tiresias (Clementi) plays a Christ-like figure. The only resemblance between this version and the ancient tragedy is that the three principle characters are slated for an uncertain future among the living. With a soundtrack by the legendary Ennio Morricone.
