    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. The Year of the Cannibals, third feature film by Liliana CAVANI, starring a trio of excellent actors (Pierre CLEMENTI, Britt EKLAND and Tomas MILIAN), is a modern reinterpretation of Sophocles’ tragedy, made during the protest years of 1967-69. A film that stands out for its visionary intelligence, in the context of Italian “political” cinema.
