Description:
THE CANNIBALS is a modern reworking of the drama of Antigone, in the format of a radical political allegory. Set in the city of Milan, where a fascist government leaves the bodies of captured rebels on the streets, it is about Antigone, who wants to bury her dead brother. Italian with English subtitles.
"Icannibali" is a provocative 1970 Italian drama directed by Liliana Cavani, now available in high-definition Blu-Ray from Kino Lorber Films. Set in a dystopian future where the dead are left unburied as punishment for political dissent, the film follows Antigone (Britt Ekland) and Tiresia (Pierre Clémenti) as they defy authoritarian rule to honor their loved ones. This release features restored visuals and insightful extras that highlight Cavani?s bold vision and social commentary. Kino Lorber Films is renowned for its dedication to preserving classic cinema with meticulous restorations and comprehensive bonus content.
Director Liliana Cavani gained international acclaim with "The Night Porter" (1974), exploring controversial themes of power and morality. Lead actress Britt Ekland became famous through roles in "The Man with the Golden Gun" and "Get Carter," while Pierre Clémenti was celebrated for his performances in films like Luis Buñuel's "Belle de Jour." Supporting actor Tomas Milian was known for his versatile work across European genre cinema, including Spaghetti Westerns such as "Django Kill... If You Live, Shoot!" The collaboration of these talents makes "Icannibali" an essential piece of cinematic history.
