Edipo Alcalde (Oedipus Mayor), motion picture 1996, Colombia (dir. J. Alí Triana), screenplay by Gabriel García Márquez et al.

Edipo (Jorge Perugorría), a successful law-and-order mayor of Bogota, ventures into the highlands where mob violence has threatened the utter destruction of the region. A nighttime standoff at the bridge into one village results in Edipo’s shoots his unseen opponent with a single shot through the windshield. —— Who was Edipo's victim? An investigation ensues; but two and two will not be put together soon. And, as violence will beget violence, the search first for Laio, then for his killers, brings blood feuds to the surface of the small town, with Creonte leading the charge.
Jocasta (Ángela Molina) has squandered most of her best years in a loveless marriage to Laio. But she soon learns with the handsome newcomer all about affection and love, and he reciprocates. Any viewer of the Oedipus adaptation will have recognized the direction this incestuous affair is going. And the director plays the eroticism way up. The film earns its R-rating, to be sure. The first nude scene is chillingly maternal. But the horrifying reality of the affair dawns only very late upon the lovers. Where the adapted narrative seems to surpass its brilliant Sophoclean source is in articulating how deeply Jocasta longs to plunge unpleasant memories of her newly departed husband into the depths of her longing for Edipo.
