Pasolini's stark, primitive take on MEDEA offers a callous Callas a captivating avant-garde music backdrop.
Maria Callas is both stoic and expressive as Pasolini's Medea, while Jason is depicted as playfully self-obsessed.This is a prehistoric view of Euripides and quite accessible.There's a pretentious touch of modernity, but the striking opening ceremony vividly sets the mood of the piece and the double-dose finale is effective.The evocative music sounds like judgement day!score /10
