What was 'Antigone' rated?

Answer 1

Both filmed versions of 'Antigone' ended up in the NRcategory of 'Not Rated'. The 1961 version was directed by Yiorgos Tzavellas* [1916-1976]. It was based upon the classical play by Sophocles [c. 496 B.C.E.** - 406 B.C.E.]. The 1974 version was directed by George Freedman. It was based upon the modern play by Jean Marie Lucien Pierre Anouilh [June 12, 1910-October 3, 1987]. Neither film version would have received a 'General Audience' rating. For example, Antigone was the child of incestuous parents. Her brother Polyneices' body was desecrated by the weather, dogs, and birds. There were three suicides. And throughout there was the violence of a dysfunctional extended family. *Other known spellings have included George Tzavellas, Giorgos Tzavellas, Yiorgos Tzavellas; and Yorgos Javellas. **Before the Christian Era
