directed by Pier Paolo Pasolini
France / Italy / West Germany 1969

 

Among my favorite Pier Paolo Pasolini features is his 1970 film Medea, featuring the opera diva Maria Callas in the title role. Capturing the primitive mythic qualities of the Greek tragedy, Pasolini addresses the sensuality, passion and narrative complexity of the pre-Christian epic of infanticide. Showing the Mediterranean people as a shifting conglomeration of racially and culturally diverse warring tribes, Pasolini situates the story in a believable anthropological historic context -- something previously unattempted and still rarely done in popular films.

Comments Here's very little to say: The picture is Criterion standard, made from a restored print. The colors are very beautiful, so is everything else. If you want to find some errors, there are some softness in the large pictures, but it might be in the original film elements. Some edge enhancement can also be found., but otherwise this is a very fine DVD.

The original Italian mono soundtrack is very clear and dynamic, and it's restored with the same skill as the picture.

Bravo!
