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!
