Review: ELECTRA/PERSONA, Starring Cate Blanchett and Nina Hoss
by Clementine Scott - Sep 1, 2026

Much ink has been spilled over the film and its varied psychological readings, but Australian writer-director Benedict Andrews takes a new tack – he poses the question of why, of all the plays, Elisabet’s breakdown should happen during Sophocles’ Electra.
