About this movie

In the final part of Pier Paolo Pasolini's "Mythical Cycle," the master Italian director beautifully re-imagines Euripides' ancient Greek tragedy Medea, with Maria Callas in the title role of the royal sorceress. In this haunting tale, Medea sacrifices everything to win the love of Jason, leader of the army of Argonaut. But when Jason spurns her to marry the kings daughter, Medea's exacts a scorching revenge that destroys everyone in its path.
