Description
Summary:Pier Paolo Pasolini´s film adaptation of Sophocles´ Oedipus The King, offers the peculiarity to joint Oedipus myth and Sofocles´ tragedy, with Sigmund Freud interpretation of the greek tragedy. To which he adds his personal experiences so as to talk about his own Oedipus complex. By adapting Sophocles´ text from psychoanalytic theory, he makes a film that links the universality of Freudian Oedipus complex with his own experience of passionate love for his mother and parricidal hatred against his father.
