Antigone

In “Antigone” we re-visit the twisted shapes of the Master in his various get-ups: father, king, detective, god, stats, text, son…film director. Also featuring a familiar mother-lover combo. “…A blast of fresh air on the experimental scene, this cheeky, post-modern story about the story rips apart any pretensions we may hold about the avant-garde, the Canadian film industry, or narrative itself.” – Festival of Festivals “Antigone” rolls out black and white, silent-movie style, with a blast of horns and the mock-mournful strains of the violin. Slapstick sounds and Popovich’s narration prick the pretensions of those involved in retelling the [Oedipus and Antigone] legend.” – Sean Condon, St. Catherines Standard
