Barnes & Noble.com - Medea -- Maria Callas - DVD - Letterbox Greek opera diva Maria Callas is certainly in her element as Medea in this 1970 film version of the venerable theatrical piece, with Giuseppe Gentili as her husband Jason and Massimo Girotti as her father, King Creon. Put in the coldest possible terms, Medea is the story of a woman who gets sore at her husband and kills her children to get even. As such, it is likely that this classic 5th-century BC Euripides play would nowadays run afoul of the political correctness brigade. video.barnesandnoble.com /search/product.asp?ean=658769209532   (166 words)

Medea (play) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Pier Paolo Pasolini's 1970 film Medea is loosly based on Euripides' play. Medea, uncharacteristically for a female character, is strong and powerful; the play is often seen as one of the first works of feminism, and Medea is seen as a feminist heroine. Medea returns to her scheming, she decides to poison a family heirloom, kingly robes made of gold which were gifts from the sun god (a direct relitive of medea). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Medeia   (1342 words)

Brooklyn Academy of Music Next Wave Festival: Euripides Medea Because if the demigoddess Medea is not proud, her fall is not felt; if she is not maternally tender, infanticide is not moving; if she is not sexy, Jason’s betrayal seems almost justified. Warner sanitises Medea and imposes modern notions of romantic love, morality, fidelity, and the battle of the sexes on the play. Medea’s multiple personalities - the proud powerful vengeful sorceress, the maternally loving mother, and the sensual lover - should have been more strongly delineated. www.scena.org /columns/anson/021003-PA-medea.html   (896 words)

Euripides' Medea Costa (the director) berates Maya (Melina Mercouri, who plays Medea in the play within the film) for injecting too much of politics into the play: "Medea is about love, passion, witchcraft" in which the poet has created "another world"... Medea is, then, an exotic figure: typically taken as the quintessential mythic symbol of the barbarian, of the dangerous sorceress brought by a hero from the edge of the known world: why does Euripides choose to downplay this in deference to his prominent emphasis on male/female? Medea: granddaughter of Helios (the sun): daughter of Aeetes, king of Colchis; niece of Circe (the sorceress in the Odyssey): a WITCH, with a father who is also a sorcerer, and a grandfather who is a god classics.uc.edu /~johnson/tragedy/medea.html   (1129 words)

Jason and the Argonauts Supporting Actors Jason and the Argonauts was a film that brought together tons of actors to face Talos, the Hydra and others. Polydeuces was another Argonaut that fought along Jason and the rest, he escapes during the night from the Cholchis with the help of Medea, (Polydeuces is the soldier in the middle of the picture).

QUO VADIS? THE CINEMA AND FATE OF PIER PAOLO PASOLINI This perception of the natural sacredness of life enabled him to make such films as Accattone, Gospel According to Matthew, Hawks and Sparrows, Oedipus Rex and Medea. After all, this director - whose first film, Accattone, begins by proclaiming "IT'S JUDGEMENT DAY!" and whose last film, Salo - The 120 Days of Sodom, is perhaps the bleakest, most repugnant vision of humanity that anyone has ever committed to film - seemed to be on one continuous downward slide towards self-destruction. His world and his films became ugly and sank into the abyss of darkness and despair. www.hal-pc.org /~questers/pasolini.html   (2022 words)

Artistic and intellectual confusion in Lars von Trier's The Idiots One of von Trier's early films was the completion of a project originally planned by Dreyer himself, the filming of Medea, the classic Greek story of a mother who murders her children. In fact von Trier's film is an accurate portrayal of the anguish and frustration of a section of today's intelligentsia, unhappy in their own skins, but unable or unwilling to explore the possibilities for genuine social change—not a pretty sight and by no means the basis for a renewal of film culture. Von Trier's breakthrough to film prominence came with his film Breaking the Waves, the story of a oil rig worker badly wounded in an accident, who is saved by the faith and diligence of his devoted young wife. www.wsws.org /articles/1999/may1999/idio-m28.shtml   (1439 words)

Lars Von Trier (Breaking The Waves) SB: As is 'Medea', which you shot on video and then transferred to film in order to recopy onto video? Von Trier first came to international prominence with an English-language film, The Element of Crime in 1984, a bewildering narrative about a detective trying to unravel a series of child murders. It was, says von Trier, a sort of "latter-day film noir", haunted by cinema history, marked by startling images and pitched on an operatic scale, as were the other two films which complete the trilogy: Epidemic (1986, though not released in the UK) and Europa (1991). www.industrycentral.net /director_interviews/LVT01.HTM   (3174 words)

Such Is Life (Así es la Vida) No One Writes to the Colonel) adapts the Medea story in his film, Such is Life, placing it in a Mexico City barrio. At various times a sorceress, a priestess, a political schemer, and a queen, Medea's unforgettable act was to murder her two children by Jason when he left her to marry a princess. Prolific as he is, there will no doubt be another film from him soon, perhaps with a more felicitous meeting of technique and subject. www.culturevulture.net /Movies2/SuchIsLife.htm   (718 words)

"The Kingdom II", by Lars Von Trier (Denmark) His first feature The Element of Crime (1984), shown at the Ninth São Paulo International Film Festival) was followed by Epidemic (1987) and Medea (telefilm of 1988), and Europa (1991),The Kingdom I (Eighteenth Film Festival), Breaking the Waves (1996), and The Kingdom II. The film was made to frighten and to frighten a great deal. The first four episodes of The Kingdom, concluded in 1994, attracted crowds of fanatics and followers familiar with the idiosyncrasies of each and every character, who cheer them on and amuse themselves with them wherever the series is exhibited, in the cinema and on television. www.mostra.org /21/english/films/reino2-i.htm   (718 words)

Sunset Boulevard Luckily, Sunset Boulevard is one classic film that’s been kept in good shape over the years (maybe Cecil B. DeMille was fond of his performance), so this new print should sparkle as Wilder intended it to. Though it’s undoubtedly tinged with misogyny — in the last shot, Swanson appears ready to devour the camera — Sunset Boulevard ’s influences are more classical than political; Norma Desmond is an elemental power on a level with Medea. As Norma Desmond, a silent-film siren turned delusionary shut-in, Gloria Swanson might as well be acting in a silent melodrama, so high-pitched is every movement, but her pairing with the superbly understated William Holden as well as the wistfully sardonic Erich von Stroheim takes the edge off her campy vamping. www.citypaper.net /movies/s/sunsetboulevard.shtml   (718 words)

Flipside Movie Emporium: Salo, or The 120 Days of Sodom Movie Review Drawing on Sade's source material, but updating it and making it his own, Pasolini's (Arabian Nights, Medea, The Canterbury Tales) Salo is the story of four aristocratic noblemen during World War II. Few can look back on Sade's novel or Pasolini's film with fond memories, but even fewer would admit to not being affected by their savage vision. In a different film, this might have been a hindrance, but since Pasolini's making a statement on the nature of apathy and fascism, it actually strengthens the movie. www.flipsidemovies.com /salo.html   (60 words)
