Medeia (1969), de Pier Paolo Pasolini

Pier Paolo Pasolini + Maria Callas, terça-feira (22 de novembro), no Cineclube FDUP. A entrada, como de costume, é livre. Contamos convosco!

«The world painted here is not familiar, nor is it at all comforting to the modern viewer. Some of these rites and rituals are, in fact, obscenely unsettling, and Pasolini adds to this atmosphere with a multitude of atypical cinematic techniques, everything from fast pans to low angle shots, for instance, are employed  in the scene mentioned above. Yet, these are juxtaposed often with images of stunning beauty; we watch, completely fascinated, as the characters journey through the most spectacularly peculiar rock formations, eroded by millennia of wind and water. The result is this striking tapestry, a battleground where myth, reality and art collide to form a poetic and lasting truth.»
