Jules Dassin, 1962, 115min, 35mm
Starring Melina Mercouri, Anthony Perkins, Raf Vallone
In their fourth collaboration, director Jules Dassin and actress Melina Mercouri, the icon of Greek cinema, reimagine Euripides’ Hippolytus in the high society world of an early 1960s shipping magnate. Mercouri, as Phaedra, falls in love with her sensitive stepson, played by Anthony Perkins, under the nose of her powerful husband, Thanos. Things turn out as they usually do, whether inspired by Greek tragedy or not.
“A strange and dark story of romantic doom set in the Onassis/Niarchos over-world.” – Wes Anderson
