Oedipus
Résumé
To Oedipus, women are an enigma. Why, with her bothersome husband finally out
of the way, did his mistress inexplicably run off? Don’t lose your head,
thinks Oedipus. Just try to understand. And so the valiant young milkman
embarks on an introspective journey, a process of self-discovery and
regression in which he retraces the path of his life.
Parodying the Greek myth, and throwing in a bunch of well-known NFB
animated characters for good measure, director Paul Driessen offers up a
backwards tragicomic version of the classic tale. Oedipus is
Driessen at his absurdist best.
