Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Pier Paolo Pasolini's disappointing 1970 version of the Greek tragedy.
-
James Plath, Movie Metropolis
Only for an art-house audience, but those who want to feel and poetically experience the ancient world might also find this odd film worth watching, at least once.
-
Sean Axmaker, Turner Classic Movies Online
Pasolini strips the play down to symbolic, almost abstract expressions of scenes and ideas, like the cinema equivalent of hieroglyphics.
-
Fernando F. Croce, CinePassion
Abstruse, stark, elemental
-
, TV Guide's Movie Guide
This fascinating, if not entirely successful, adaptation of the Euripides play has opera diva Callas in her sole screen appearance as the sorceress queen.
