Review of Medea

Medea (1988 TV Movie)
3/10
Extrordinary boring.
6 June 2004
Warning: Spoilers
***SPOILERS***

My teacher forced my class to watch this movie, and boy was it dull. Half the class almost fell asleep while the rest actually did. Now people might call this art but I call it the movie equivalent to Chinese water torture.

Lars von Trier, I really hate him after seeing this movie by the way, has took some story out of Greek mythology and placed it in Denmark, and then continued by making it so insanely boring that you will want to go rampaging out in the streets.

The only reasons that I don't give it zero is because I can't and that the movie looks pretty good, is only 75 minutes long (even though it feels like 75 hours) and includes a pretty disturbing scene were Medea hangs here own children. That's really it.

I will never forgive my teacher for this.
