| Summary |
Filmed in and around an awesome, 15th century adobe city in the Moroccan desert, Pasolini's version of the Oedipus legend retains the basic elements of Sophocles' classic tragedy. A young man, abandoned at birth by his parents, is foretold of his doomed fate by an oracle; nonetheless, he unknowingly murders his father and marries his mother. |
