MEDEAS (Italy-Mexico-USA/97’/2013)

‘Captivating and daring’


Alienation, loneliness, desire and power all these terms have been wonderfully portrayed in Andrea Pallaoro’s film Medeas. The story is set in outskirts of Italy. Ennis is a farmer who is going through hard financial times. He is finding to keep peace with his work and with his family too. Disturbed by his wife’s relation, he goes through a very fierce emotional change.


 Exploring the journey of alienation of each member of the house, the film makes an impact with its hard hitting execution style. The cinematic expressions are very beautiful and the large landscapes just keep us into the frames. The film is strong and remains daring throughout the end with its issue. It certainly does ring your strings and makes a point. Andrea pallaoro’s debut feature is very promising and he certainly is a director to keep an eye on.
