although the recent re telling of part of homer epic troy with brad pitt be entertain once and iphigenia with the incandescent irene pappa be breathtaking . unfold in a natural setting with greek actor speak their own language lends such authenticity . a chance encounter with this film on one of directv many movie channel keep me interested in spite of my concentration problem . there be no glitter or bling in this movie and just a fabulously rich story impeccably tell by actor so real one feel they be eavesdrop on a real family in turmoil . i think even homer and if he really exist and would be proud of this telling . jlh .
