Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Le Grice was a founding father of British structural film; this 1998 'remake' of his 1970s work updates the tech but keeps the daddy death vibes intact.
The title references the Greek obol placed in mouths of the dead—here, the cyclops pays with vision itself, his single eye the price of passage.
