The favorability of this rating rests primarily upon the brilliant source material, but the film is well acted and well paced to communicate the tension of the tragedy.

One of the lesser-known Greek tragedies, Iphigenia holds

One of the lesser-known Greek tragedies, Iphigenia holds up to its genre with cheek-smacking confusion and what-the-fuckness. The Greek army is ready, has been ready, for a very long time now, to sail to Troy to kick some Trojan ass. But alas, there is no wind to fuel the ships — I suppose there wasn't the foresight of having oarsmen for the occasion. The oracle, as oracle's always do on the eves of battle, had a message from the gods that Agamemnon (Kostas Kozakos) must sacrifice his eldest daughter for the winds to blow. With the pressure from his brother, Menelaus (Costas Carras), whose sister, Helen, is the cause of all this to begin with, and the army growing impatient and more zealous as each day passes, Agamemnon must make the hardest decision any father could possibly be asked to make — for a Greek tragedy, that is, any sane father would take the non-sacrificial path. What I love about a film shot in 1977 are the practical effects: those are real boats lining the beautiful beach on the Aegean Sea, those are hundreds of real naked, bronzing Greek men lining the beautiful beach on the Aegean Sea. It is a film with a cast of recognizable characters — Agamemnon, Achilles (Panos Mihalopoulos, although black haired instead of the blond associated with Brad Pitt's iteration, is still incredibly handsome), Odysseus (Christos Tsagas), Paris and Helen, who we never actually see — they are not in their typical roles. There is not a single swordfight in the entire film, even at the end, where Achilles looks like he is about to take on the entire Greek army on his own. Irene Papas as Clytemnestra, Queen of Mycenae, who if you asked me to craft a dramatic Greek actress from clay, it would be Irene Papas, is fantastic from start to finish. Of course, can't forget about the titular Iphigenia (Tatiana Papamoschou), who didn't look a day over twelve and is ostensibly summoned to the coast to marry Achilles; Papamoschou was thirteen during filming. She was also delightful in her range of joy, fear, denial, and ultimate acceptance and control of her fate. Although the story is approximately 2,400 years old, I still won't spoil it, but remind you that a Greek tragedy is a Greek tragedy.

At times I felt that the film is quite outdated but there are a lot of really good aspects in there.
