Our take
From the great Liliana Cavani, whose career has stretched from the controversial The Night Porter to an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s Ripley, comes this stunning update of Greek tragedy to a futuristic post-1968 apocalypse. Starring 60s It-girl Britt Eklund, with music by Ennio Morricone!
