Elektra, My Love (Elektra, Ya Gharami)
2022 89m
Elektra, My Love (89 min, 2021) is a kammerspiel-film set in the moody, cavernous ruin of the Piccadilly Theater, Beirut’s extravagant art palace destroyed after the Lebanese Civil War, the film recounts three days in the life of five actresses. The women seek to revive the ghostly theater with an experimental production of Sophocles’ Elektra. In writing and directing the film, I wanted to show the austere fall of the people of Beirut after decades of war, within my own dream of the passage of the soul.
