Synopsis

A Korean theater troupe travels to Greece to rehearse a new production of Aeschylus’ Agamemnon. The secluded setting offers a stunning backdrop to the tensions mounting between the lead actress, the domineering director, and various members of the company.

Our take

Questioning the absolute authority of the auteur figure, Pak Ougie’s play-within-a-film puzzle reinvents the Greek classic through a multicultural lens. Against the ivory grandeur of ancient amphitheaters, rehearsals simmer with the fervor of battle rings where each player vies for artistic control.
