New in theatres this week: Canadian triumph Antigone, the powerful She Never Died and the terrible Kindness of Strangers
ANTIGONE (2019). Antigone loosely adapts Sophocles' Greek tragedy and situates it in contemporary Montreal. Following the murder of their parents, Antigone (Nahema Ricci), her sister Ismene, her brothers Eteocle and Polynice, and their grandmother find refuge in Montreal. They live a quiet modest life in a tiny apartment in a working-class neighbourhood. A straight-A student, Antigone is the glue that holds the family together. Tragedy strikes when Eteocle is wrongfully gunned down by police during the arrest of Polynice, a small-time drug dealer. Motivated by her sense of duty towards her family and fuelled by the memory she cherishes of her dead parents, Antigone decides to jeopardize her own future to preserve that of her family.
