After mistakenly slaying a sacred deer, Agamemnon is ordered to atone for his sin by the gods. In order for them to guarantee safe passage for his armies to Troy, he must make the ultimate sacrifice: the death of his beloved daughter, Iphigenia. Torn between family and country, he attempts to keep the details of the impossible ultimatum from his wife, Clytemnestra (Irene Papas, Z), choosing to deceive her while he wrestles with the implications of his decision, while those around him wait tensely for his answer. A masterpiece of epic Greek storytelling, Iphigenia is... the third film from Michael Cacoyannis (Zorba the Greek, Elektra) to be adapted from a Euripidean tragedy, and one of the director's most acclaimed and successful films, nominated for both the Palme D'or and the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.BLU-RAY LIMITED EDITION SPECIAL FEATURESHigh-definition digital transferUncompressed mono PCM audioNew interview with Greek film expert Dimitris Papanikolaou on Michael Cacoyannis (2025)Archival interview with director Michael Cacoyannis and actress Irene Papas (1977)Archival footage of press conference at 1977 Cannes Film Festival (1977)Newly improved English subtitle translation Reversible sleeve featuring original and newly commissioned artwork by Time TomorrowLimited edition booklet featuring new writing by Vrasidas KaralisLimited edition of 3000 copies, presented in full-height Scanavo packaging with removable OBI strip leaving packaging free of certificates and markings [show more]
