Movie7.0DramaThis first feature by Amy Greenfield brings to the screen the story of the daughter of Oedipus in an emotionally relentless, visually stunning New Music Film Opera which challenges the conventions of narrative cinema to create a genre of its own. The 2500-year-old drama of the woman who defied the state to bury her brother is transformed through stark, ceaseless movement, haunting sounds and music (including themes from Glen Branca, David Van Tieghem, Elliot Sharp and Diamanda Galas) and words of outcry against our own world's injustice.

MovieLike female artists in other forms - Carolee Schneeman, Versuchka, Charlotte Moorman- who covered their bodies with earth and paint and chocolate, Greenfield in Element reveals a femaleness both transgressive and erotic. She unites complex associations of death and birth in a visceral mud-caked performance.
