Michael Cacoyannis's Academy Award-nominated adaptation of Euripides's play brings out ancient Greece in all its splendor. "Ifigeneia" ("Iphigenia" in English) isn't for those of us with short attention spans. It lets the complexity, profundity and intensity play out every step of the way. Like Cacoyannis's previous adaptations of ancient Greek plays - "Electra" and "The Trojan Women" - this requires a willingness to understand the characters and their motivations. Exactly what a movie should be.
