Review of Medea

I greatly enjoyed this movie, though I must admit I at first had my doubts. One must remember the date of the film, and keep in mind that the format and visualizations are purposefully done. The grains and warm and cool tones are part of the portrait painted throughout this movie. Many scenes bring to mind what one may see standing in front of a masterpiece hung in a gallery. It is an emotional experience. True, it has moments where perhaps the viewer would like to skip through, such as a mundane shot of a marsh field or the bubbling of the water... but I must say that the scenes from the Queen's murder on (the last 15 minutes of the film) are worth seeing! Watching Medea hang her sons was heartbreaking, and portrayed in a very unique way for this story.
