(Le visioni barbare di Medea)
20071h 10mDocumentary
Overview
In Pasolini's vision, Euripides' Medea becomes an emblem of the Third World deceived and exploited by the pragmatic rationality of the West (Jason). The sequences of human sacrifice, shot in Turkey, are among the highest and cruelest in Pasolini's cinema. Maria Callas in her only film role, is a lunar goddess of revenge.
