The drama "Medea" by Euripides from 431 BC is a profound socio-political work with anthropological and psychological implications that is still able to touch people and confront them with existential questions. Director Pier Paolo Pasolini's careful look at the ancient tragedy, the impressive performance of Maria Callas in the lead role and the archetypal beauty of Cappadocia as the film's main setting tell their own story of love, betrayal and revenge.
