MEDEA - BLU-RAY

MEDEA
A film by Pier Paolo Pasolini

A mythical tale of love, betrayal and revenge, Medea is a fascinating collision of Freudian and Marxist themes from Italy's most controversial director, Pier Paolo Pasolini. Adapted from the Euripidean drama, Pasolini's disturbing vision of personal and national conflicts stars opera legend Maria Callas in the title role, offering an extraordinary performance as the high priestess Medea whose love is threatened by corrupt political ambition. Medea is a complex blend of classical mythology and contemporary social criticism.
