This screening is for students taking Professor David Albertson's CORE 102: Reasons of Love.

 

Becalmed at Aulis, the Greek fleet waits—until the gods demand a price: a father must sacrifice his daughter. Summoned under the guise of a wedding to Achilles, Iphigenia’s arrival turns celebration into a siege of conscience as a furious mother, a cornered king, and an army hungry for war converge. Michael Cacoyannis’s 1977 Iphigenia transforms ancient myth into a taut political thriller about power, faith, and the winds of fate.
