In Jancsós loose interpretation of Sophocles, Electra is a crazy woman who is still suffering from the death of Agamemnon. ... She criticizes the cowardly masses by saying "I, Electra, who does not forget. ... Electra proves that to overcome that fear, one must possess a willingness to face death and the truth. ...
“Electra, My Love” was shot in Hungary at a time when the Soviet Union and the "iron curtain" countries were falling apart. ... Through his Electra, Ja-ncsó is able to shift the tragedy to modern times and show the lies and contradictions made by the Soviets. ... -
Ja-ncsó has tweaked some of the individual characters to suit the needs of the story’s new direction. ... Electra tries to tell the people that his lies are a plague, but Aegisthus keeps them from speaking out by showing that he will punish anyone who disobeys. ... Orestes is the only character who shares Electra’s same state of mind and who will confront Aegisthus with the truth.
