Antigone

In this filmed stage production of Sophocles' play, Geneviève Bujold gives a riveting performance as the title character, a woman who defies King Creon (Fritz Weaver) -- her uncle -- in a quest to give her rebel brother a proper burial. Stacy Keach gives a sardonic spin to the role of the narrating chorus in playwright Jean Anouilh's powerful retelling of the classic Greek tragedy, which positions the combatants at either end of a long table.
