    Good to be able to see a great!

    Dance doesn't easily lend itself to screen I don't think, but this works pretty well, in particular when the chorus are also dancing, so a solid 8 from me. ..... And always good to see a different interpretation of Sophocles!

    Martha Graham was an innovator in dance and was apparently well into her 60s when this is recorded, which makes her performance even more impressive. So, if you can find it do watch - I hope you think worth it!

    And, if you want to watch more dance on screen I would really recommend Woolf Works ... great dancing with Allesandro Ferri, and also wonderful music by Max Richter.
