Deraspe earns kudos for making a 2,500-year-old play feel vital, contemporary and cinematic.

"Antigone" views the plight of desperate immigrants through the lens of Greek tragedy, wringing compelling drama out of a situation that too often resembles catastrophe in the real world.

Philosophically compelling and emotionally devastating, Deraspe crafts a unique and contemporary cinematic experience that resonates deeply.

Anchoring everything are Ricci's bravura performance and Deraspe's smart script and confident direction.
