Abstract

The purpose of this contribution is to address the re-mediation of myth in cinema from a specific perspective: not to examine the frequent modern reinterpretations of classical myths, but to showcase a possibility of myth re-creation that remains faithful to the sacred and mysterious dimension from which the mythological vision originally emerged.
