Dark Odyssey is a 1961 American erotic drama film directed by Radley Metzger. [1] [2] [3]
An immigrant from Greece arrives in New York City to search for the man who mistreated his sister.
Dark Odyssey was favorably reviewed by The New York Times. [4] [5] According to film reviewer Howard Thompson, the film is a "thoughtful, unpretentious and creatively turned little drama ... a fresh, economical approach to an ancient dramaturgical formula". [4] Gary Morris, another film reviewer, describes the film as having "visual beauty and emotional power" and being a "literal Greek tragedy shot on location in New York City". [6] Film critic Dan Georgakas describes the film as the "best film featuring Greek American characters ever made". [7] Dark Odyssey has been described, by one reviewer, as having a neorealistic style similar to Elia Kazan's On the Waterfront (1954) and Martin Ritt's Edge of the City (1957). [8]
According to one film reviewer, Radley Metzger's films, including those made during the Golden Age of Porn (1969–1984), are noted for their "lavish design, witty screenplays, and a penchant for the unusual camera angle". [9] Another reviewer noted that his films were "highly artistic — and often cerebral ... and often featured gorgeous cinematography". [10] Film and audio works by Metzger have been added to the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. [11] [12] [13] [14]
