Medea - Pier Paolo Pasolini



There is a most odd and intriguing tiny scene in Pasolini's Medea isn't there (above). What is going on? There is no dialogue. Little context. Avoidably, four eminences have been crammed into a chamber clearly not large enough for them. Fair enough. It is some kind of 'perfect frame' though isn't it? Surely, very rarely do you see people standing in a pleasing and an obviously 'designed' room that is utterly bare of everything - no furniture, no objects, and no reasons? I'm glad that occasionally it happens.
