Ferita a morte, Elektra viene praticamente resuscitata da Stick, il suo maestro, non vedente, d'arti marziali che le ha insegnato anche il 'Kimagure', l'arte di prevedere il futuro. Grazie a questa dote e alle notevoli capacità atletiche, Elektra decide di accettare rischiose missioni in veste di killer spietata. Ma l'incontro con Mark e Abby Miller, padre e figlia in fuga dalla potente organizzazione criminale nota come La Mano, potrebbe cambiare per sempre la sua esistenza...

Last production staged by Patrice Chéreau, this Elektra will remain as the main and most striking lyrical event of these last years in Aix-en-Provence. This production is leaded by three amazing singers: the German soprano Evelyn Herlitzius gave a tremendous, never-to-be-forgotten account of the title role, Waltraud Meier portrays a human and chilling Clytemnestra and Adrianne Pieczonka is a fantastic Chrysothemis. Everyone's loneliness and intimate struggles are Patrice Chéreau's favorites theatrical themes. With Esa-Pekka Salonen conducting the Orchestre de Paris, this production of Elektra becomes an unforgettable experience.

The Metropolitan Opera live production of Richard Strauss's opera Elektra on February 16, 1980

Recorded at the Vienna State Opera house in 1989, this staging of Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s Elektra is one of the glories of live opera on film, deserving of eternal availability. The DVD picture has great clarity, despite the darkness of Hans Schavernoch’s set design. Other than the cliché of a huge statue head, toppled on its side, the set manages to be suitably representative of a decaying palace as well as an imposing, theatrical space, dominated by the mammoth body of the statue from which the head apparently dropped, draped with the ropes that seem to have enabled the decapitation. Sooner or later most of the characters cling to and twist around those ropes, an apt stage metaphor for the remorseless repercussions from the murder of Agammenon by his unfaithful wife Klytämnestra and her paramour, Aegisthus. Reinhard Heinrich’s costumes capture a distant era while sustaining a creepily modern look — part Goth, part homeless, part Spa-wear.

Set in the desolate wreckage of Beirut’s Piccadilly Theater after decades of war, the film recounts three days in the life of a writer and actors. As they seek to revive the ghostly theater with a production of Sophocles’ Elektra, the actors witness the vivid dreams of the writer who has to confront the contempt and lies of the two-faced actors and ultimately her own murder.

Dopo essersi ritirata dall'industria del cinema per adulti, la superstar Elektra Luxx è incinta del figlio della defunta rock star Nick Chapel. Mentre cerca di guadagnare i soldi per arrivare a fine mese insegnando in una classe di educazione sessuale, in un istituto per formazione professionale para universitario, indirizzata alle casalinghe. Lì incontra una persona del suo passato, l'assistente di volo Cora che l'avvicina con una proposta. In cambio dei testi (rubati) dell'ultima registrazione di Nick Chapel, che parlano di Elektra, Cora le chiede di sedurre il suo fidanzato. Elektra accetta controvoglia di fare questo favore, mettendo in moto una serie di eventi esilaranti che la mettono faccia a faccia con detective, blogger che parlano di sesso, vicini emotivamente poco stabili e la stessa Vergine Maria mentre combatte contro la prospettiva di diventare madre e cerca di diventare una persona agiata.

Affascinante rivisitazione del mito degli Atridi.

Queen Clytemnestra assassinates King Agamemnon. Their daughter, Elektra, lives for the day when her father's death will be avenged. Like a curse, the vendetta must be fulfilled, but is Elektra capable of committing the irreparable? At Grand Théâtre de Genève, the cogs of revenge are set in motion by director Ulrich Rasche, who imprisons the characters of Elektra in a spectacular scenic device: a steel tower weighing almost twelve tons in perpetual rotation. In the pit, conductor Jonathan Nott and his Orchestre de la Suisse Romande confront the musical challenges of Strauss' intoxicating one-act score. The female characters at the centre of the drama are sung by three artists of the highest calibre: Ingela Brimberg as Elektra, Sara Jakubiak as Chrysothemis and Tanja Ariane Baumgartner as Clytemnestra.
