A new Medea version by Arturo Ripstein.
26 December 2000
Of course it´s Ripstein. A great mexican director. In this movie he makes a very personal adaptation, to the México of our times, of the classical greek tragedy MEDEA. With a very sordid scenario and a really complex narrative. Using a TV like flashbacks and thoughts of the characters and like the place for the mariachis that plays the role of the classical Chorus of the greek theatre, this movie is a real masterpiece of our times.

This, is the first movie of latin american that has been made in a DV format. And this shows a possible future for the low budget productions.
