The document discusses the use of the Oedipus myth in film. It explores classical versions of the myth, Sigmund Freud's theory of the Oedipus complex, and several films that draw on the myth and psychoanalytic theory. The films analyzed include Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Edipo re", Alfred Hitchcock's "Spellbound", Alan Parker's "Angel Heart", and Woody Allen's comedy that combines elements of Greek theater and tragedy. The document argues that the universal themes of the Oedipus myth remain relevant because they reflect deep aspects of human nature and psychology.
