  Film - Medea
Location: 106 Pickard Hall

Based on the Greek tragedy by Euripides, the film tells the story of Jason, who meets the foreigner and sorceress Medea while on his quest for the Golden Fleece. She sacrifices her country and even her brother for him, and he repays her by betrayal. Her revenge is legendary and who better than Callas to play a woman scorned? Her only movie role; she doesn't sing a note, but her acting is a perfect complement to director Pasolini's style. A difficult to obtain film.
