My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done Covers Matricide and Greek Tragedy in a True Story

First Look Studios will also release My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done on DVD September 14, 2010 with Academy Award nominees Willem Dafoe (Antichrist), Michael Shannon (The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call - New Orleans), and Chloe Sevigny (The Killing Room) starring. The film had an official premiere at the Venice Film Festival and the film's story follows a theatre actor who slays his own mother after immersing himself in too deeply with the play's subject matter, Greek tragedy. Matricide is not uncommon in Greek tragedy nor is infaticide and suicide, but the material is fiction and not reality, or very loosely based on ancient myth. Have a watch of the trailer for My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done until the film releases later this year.
