The Year of the Cannibals

On the streets of a damp metropolis lie the corpses of hundreds and hundreds of boys and girls. No one can give them a resting place because of a law enacted by a repressive State.

But the young Antigone, with the help of a foreigner, Tiresias, violates this rule, undermining the established order. I cannibali, a film by Liliana Cavani, is a modern reinterpretation of Sophocles' tragedy.
