This scene just shows her range as an actress. She was brilliant here. You can just feel the anger and rage when she says "NO and don't ask again, it's useless, nothing is possible anymore"

without attribution to the play or opera, I actually liked Passolini's cinematic version of Medea. It has that authenticity, from the primeval landscapes - which I assume were shot in a real location - to the outlandish costumes. This is how I would envision the story, at least in a visual sense. There's a humanity in Medea here; she's really more of a lover than anything. One should have a familiarity to Passolini's work to understand it.

@ShamusMacGuffin let me correct you a little be. She was a perfectionist ... in lots interviews she does admit it that whatever she does she wants it perfect. And she can drive herself nuts if she doens't get to the point she wants to get. So not just a singer, or a teacher, or an actress, but in everything she did she always tried her best

Nothing beats Callas as a deranged Medea

@belisariusorb infatti il film finisce qui, non esistono 11 e 12

As much as I enjoyed this, I can't help but feel that Callas' talents were completely squandered here. I believe it could have been so much more.

@dsat99 No the film finishes here - I think part 11 and 12 don't exist
