Medea

About This Movie

So, Medea (2017) is an interesting take on the classic Euripides play, brought to life through animation. It's not your typical animated film—there’s a certain darkness that permeates the visuals and tone, which feels quite fitting given the source material. The animation style is quite unique, blending traditional techniques with a modern flair, and it creates a haunting atmosphere that really sets it apart. The pacing can be a bit uneven at times, but it works to build tension and capture the emotional weight of Medea's tragedy. The themes of vengeance and betrayal are executed with a certain rawness that might resonate differently with each viewer. I’d say it’s worth checking out if you're into animated adaptations of classic literature—definitely a conversation starter.
