Oedipus Rex   1967         N/R, 110 min. Genre: Foreign / Drama Director: Pier Paolo Pasolini   Cast: Franco Citti, Silvana Mangano, Alida Valli, Carmelo Bene, Julian Beck, Luciano Bartoli, Francesco Leonetti, Ahmed Bellashmi, Giandomenico Davoli, Ninetto Davoli   This version of Sophocles' classic Greek story of a man fated to kill his father and marry his mother is fraught with Freudian messages. Unfortunately, the result is too much psychology and not enough Greek mythology.
