The Isle of Medea

The documentary The Isle of Medea explores the special relationship, born in the summer of 1969 during the filming of Medea, between its director Pier Paolo Pasolini and its protagonist Maria Callas. It was not a classic love story, as the press described it, attracted by the media potential of the couple: a controversial, provocative genius, and a famous opera singer who had just broken her love story off with the Greek tycoon Onassis. It was instead an encounter between two sensitive souls, the birth of a beautiful and engaging artistic relationship, a profound and special friendship. (Tiburon International Film Festival)
