Greek Tragedy.
Electra (Ηλέκτρα) film by Michael Cacoyannis, 1962.

~ Clytemnestra: “Father, father, father! Your perpetual excuse—Your father got his death from me. From me! That’s right! I make no denial. It was Justice who took him, not I alone. And you should have helped if you had any conscience. For this father of yours, This one you bewail, This unique Greek, Had the heart to sacrifice your own sister to the gods.”
Electra by Sophocles.

Undeniably this is one of my favorite films, with splendid cinematography,  the actors are also very charming, a must for all lovers of ancient Greek mythology and drama.
