The Illiac Passion (1967)
Prometheus, on an Odyssean journey, crosses the Brooklyn Bridge in search of the characters of his imagination. After meeting the Muse, he proceeds to the "forest." There, under an apple tree, he communes with his selves, represented by celebrated personages from the New York "underground scene" who appear as modern correlatives to the figures of Greek mythology. The filmmaker, who narrates the situations with a translation of Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound , finds the personalities of his characters to have a timeless universality.

brilliant actors, brilliant editing
Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
