COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Seen it before. submitted by Tassos on February 10, 2022, 10:01am Seeing it again now, with double speed. You can still read the subtitles, and it is better than the slow torture of listening to the cacophonous, contrived, "stage" Modern Greek of the actors. How much b etter would this have sounded in the original ancient greek, with englsh subtitles, and with more natural actors!

It is still a great story and an excellent script.
