Eyes Do Not Want to Close at All Times, or, Perhaps One Day Rome Will Allow Herself to Choose in Her Turn
The film can be mesmeric or irritating: irritating if one tries to force it into fulfilling preconceived notions of plot and character, mesmeric if one trusts the film-maker to lead one into fresh areas of perception. (Time Out)

Early attempt by S/H to translate a play set (or written) in ancient times in their own inimitable style. It's less successful than Antigone or Empedocles because the staging isn't as good, and the actors machine gun delivery of dialogue is often difficult to catch and occasionally lacks a sense of rhythm. On the plus side, the recontextualisation of the play in a contemporary setting is intriguing, and the camera isn't bolted down deep into dry earth, which makes it easy to watch.
