What Might Have Been

This movie is proof of what might have been if Maria Callas had just said to hell with Onassis and washed her hands clean of him and gone on to greater things like a film career. In all her performances in opera on the stage it was very clear that Maria Callas was an excellent actress and easily dominated the stage. She dominates Medea and it's so effortless plus that beautiful face of her's burns a hole in the screen. It is very evident that Pasolini, though homosexual, is very much in love with his leading lady and her scenes are magic. If Maria Callas had embarked on a film career she would have become one of the great ladies of the silver screen. Oh what might have been!
