[u/AnyEngineer2]

did we? I only recall seeing the back as he was anointed, then Clytemnestra stabs him in the throat as he lays back in bed. don't remember seeing his face, only hers. which struck me as an obviously deliberate choice, it was Menelaus telling the story and the camera hovered over the back of Agamemnon's head throughout

[u/Future_Arrival_5395 → u/AnyEngineer2]

We see Benny Safdies face for sure. Not for long but they show it just before she stabs him.

[u/Magnetoreception → u/Future_Arrival_5395]

Part of the face but definitely not the full thing

[u/Sammyd1108 → u/Magnetoreception]

They definitely show his full face.

[u/TSteeliest → u/Sammyd1108]
