The barbarian visions of Medea (2007)
Directed by Roberto Chiesi, Loris Lepri, Luigi Virgolin
Documentary · 1h 10m
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.
