Review of Medea (1969) by Tomek S — 01 Dec 2010
Beautiful and extremely complicated, Pasolini"s Medea is one of the most important and conceptual Italian movie productions. Do not expect a faithful version of the Greek tragedy: Pasolini wants to talk about completely different problems, and the contrast "industrial society"-"traditional society" is of course in the middle, together with some Mircea Eliade-like reflections on "nature state".
The movie is beautiful, but very difficult to approach if you do not know Pasolini, his work and his theories...
