A retelling of the Greek myth of Phaedra. In modern Greece, Alexis's father, an extremely wealthy shipping magnate, marries the younger, fiery Phaedra. When Alexis meets his stepmother, sparks fly and the two begin an affair. What will the Fates bring this family? Alexis's roadster and the music of Bach figure in the conclusion.
out of Dassin's style, Melina Mercouri and Anthony Perkins make me feel it's a horror film, don't like Melina's face and performance,any fascinating middle age woman but her
忧郁、神经质、恋母，几种特质加起来Alexis这个角色简直像为安东尼·博金斯量身定做的一样。整部片子的氛围从一开始就透着一种紧张和诡异，禁忌之恋的开始不太令人信服，但是展开之后两人在这种有毒关系中的纠缠与挣扎拍得很到位、很扭曲、很压抑。三星半
套了一层《希波吕忒斯》或《菲德拉》的皮，把单恋变成母子恋。基本上，只有主要角色保留了——忒修斯、菲德拉、希波吕忒斯、老女仆，情节完全改变——希波吕忒斯的拒绝、菲德拉的自尽与冤枉继子、老女仆的帮凶。很奇怪，菲德拉原本讲情欲的破坏力量，这部倒变成了恋爱剧。
Perkins: yes mother… 2024.10.1
朱尔斯达辛是为了捧自己的老婆才拍的这片吧？很无趣
