About The barbarian visions of Medea

Documentary

Synopsis

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.
