The barbarian visions of Medea

Original title: Le visioni barbare di Medea

2007 70 min Italian Roberto Chiesi, Luigi Virgolin, Loris Lepri

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.
