About The Bacchae
The young wine god Dionysus returns to his native town of Thebes after having established his cult in the east. In his entourage, he has a run of Bacchantes. Semele, his mother, was distrusted by her family when she claimed that Zeus was the father of her child. Dionysus has come to restore her, revealing his divinity, and require proper worship of the Theban legion.
Directed by Ingmar Bergman, The Bacchae leans on a strong ensemble — Sylvia Lindenstrand, Laila Andersson-Palme, Sten Wahlund — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about tv movie titles of 1993.
