Why it’s a Sunday Safe Bet

It was a box office smash and it's still drawing plenty of interest. A safe bet when you want something reliable.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and anyone who likes a story with emotional weight. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Fans of 12 Angry Men or Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? should feel right at home.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Character-first and patient, at 1 hr 40 min.
What might put you off
  • It's in Italian, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1958: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.

Faithful TV adaptation of Sophocles' tragedy.
