Jules Dassan did an alright job directing this movie. 1974 Vinyl LP Virgin / 840030 Phaedra. For those of you not up to speed on Greek mythology, Hippolytus, the son of Theseus, spurned the advances of his step-mother Phaedra, who subsequently convinced her husband that his son had raped her. It is Phaedra who has married a Greek shipping-tycoon but falls in love with her stepson. Also good is the scenery. By creating an account, you agree to the She kisses her beloved on her way to eternity or hades. Phaedra duly does so, and she is immediately attracted to her step-son. Melina Mercouri is the star of the film as a Greek shipping magnet who has an affair with her stepson with tragic consequences. To rate, slide your finger across the stars from left to right. She kisses her beloved on her way to eternity or hades. Overall it is not one of Jules Dassin's best, but it deserves to be seen and appreciated for its moments of greatness, intensity and beauty.

It’s as difficult to believe she would opt for gangling, inexperienced Alexis over her powerful, gregarious husband, though, as it is to believe she possesses the kind of beauty that would turn all men’s heads.

It’s a feeling that is clearly reciprocated, and they embark on a brief but passionate affair which Phaedra eventually brings to a halt. Phaedra is a decent film. That final look with the headscarf turban and dark glasses is fierce and should be on POSE. Time Out says. The main theme is magnificent and brings forth the element of the unavoidable end of love.

A gifted auto mechanic bides her time in a rural community while she looks for a way to escape from much more than just her small town.

Pride In the Spring of 1975, at the height of disco, a peculiar young woman with a passion for nightlife and a hunger for stardom is swept up in a psychological nightmare of cocaine, delusion, and disco. Some of the shots and montage were memorably unique: the melding of water and fire during the love scene, the final sequence, etc.Contrary to popular opinion, I really liked this movie.

I still say it's watchable so I gave it two good stars.Phaedra is a decent film. It's her movie and she graces the screen and has this way of drawing you in!Contrary to popular opinion, I really liked this movie.

Apart from these moments, as a whole, it fails to give a deeper interpretation of the myth.An oddity of a film, unknown and underappreciated. Overall it is not one of Jules Dassin's best, but it deserves to be seen and appreciated for its moments of greatness, intensity and beauty. In Deutschland kam der Film erstmals am 7.

I thought that Mercouri and Perkins roles were well acted. In retribution, Theseus cursed his son, who died when the horses pulling his chariot were spooked by a wild bull.Melina Mercouri, director Jules Dassin’s wife, plays the eponymous anti-heroine, the neglected wife of shipping magnate Thanos (played by Raf Vallone, and probably based on Greek shipping tycoon Aristotle Onassis). His day is about to get even worse.

However, back in Greece, she changes her mind and proceeds to pursue her now reluctant step-son with tragic consequences.It’s a story replete with risks, not least of which is a descent into over-emotive melodrama, and to be fair Dassin is occasionally guilty of allowing the principal members of his cast to overact (particularly Perkins in his final scenes).

The direction of Dassin covers some problems of the script nicely with fluid camera movements and quite experimental rhythmic units at certain points, such as the odd love scene which can be seen as either indulgingly 'poetic' or as truly powerful (I think it is the latter; a very succesful scene which is bound to feel a bit strange due to its experimental nature). Her acting was always a bit rough around the edges but her raw energy sometimes, when not used as a simple pose of 'Greek temperament', makes her shine through her depth of emotion. Cast: Melina Mercouri, Anthony Perkins, Raf ValloneSynopsis: A retelling of the Greek myth of Phaedra. The main theme is magnificent and brings forth the element of the unavoidable end of love. I liked this motion picture because of the drama.The performance of Mercouri is dreaded whereas that of Perpkins is himself.The performance of Mercouri is dreaded whereas that of Perpkins is himself.Anthony Perkins has mommy issue again in the Jules Dassin film that's a modern retelling of the greek tragedy, Phadra.

Although he loves his wife, Thanos constantly jets around the globe on business, and is so pre-occupied with work that he sends his wife to bring back his son, Alexis (Anthony Perkins), who is indulging in artistic pursuits in London instead of studying Economics.
