With writer and former Trylon volunteer Nazeeh Alghazawneh (https://twitter.com/naazeeehh)! In the bones of ELECTRA, MY LOVE, there sits one of the most important Greek myths. But the surface of Miklós Jancsó’s anti-Soviet retelling is reserved for a more direct comment on eternal cycles of power, the need for change in those who hold it, and the effect it has on those subject to it. Comprising only 12 shots over its 70-some minute runtime, ELECTRA, MY LOVE isn’t subtle in form or theme, which makes it at once an entertaining watch and a deeply meaningful statement from a leading Marxist filmmaker in Communist Hungary.
