After a script by Carl-Theodor Dreyer

Cinematic genius Lars von Trier explores the dark passions of a woman scorned in this shocking and powerful film adapted from a screenplay by the great Carl-Theodor Dreyer (The Passion of Joan Of Arc).

The drama unfolds in shimmering marshlands and gloomy subterranean passageways. Medea is a foreign sorceress, abandoned by Jason, her lover. In a fit of mad, jealous rage, she plots a vicious revenge and murders her own children.

Medea is a revelation-the discovery of a rarely-seen, legendary film from the director of Dancer In the Dark, Breaking the Waves, and Dogville. While making it, Lars von Trier claimed to be in constant telepathic communication with the co-author of the original script (based on the play by Euripides)-Carl-Theodor Dreyer.
