CGiii Comment

It boasts Callas - and that is all. Some would say that's a great boast!

The sound is unacceptable, the dubbing is lunacy - dubbing Italian on Italian - why?

It's Pasolini's weakest work - there are those that hail it to be a work of art - those are sycophantic film students trying to up their grades.

It's rubbish - there, it's been said!

The(ir) Blurb...

On a quest to retrieve the fabled Golden Fleece, Jason and the Argonauts arrive at a remote barbarian land where the natives worship the sacred artefact to protect the crops. But, unexpectedly, as Medea--a beautiful high priestess and the land's powerful sorceress--betrays her beliefs to follow Jason back to Greece, a cruel fate awaits her. As a result, deserted and banished by the king, it's only human that Medea plots her furious revenge. Can they escape her wrath?
