Medeas is meant to be experienced, ideally in a movie theater rather than at home, which is where it’s most likely to find the audience it deserves. Describing the specifics in which the film shifts from breathtaking, to heartbreaking, to horrific would give too much away. It is at turns gentle, flinty, elliptical, and barbaric, building toward gut punches that strike so bluntly as to belie Pallaoro’s otherwise muted sense of tone. So too is Medeas its own film, a personal and expansive character study. Pallaoro is inclined toward the visceral rather than the ethereal.
But contrasting Pallaoro (or any perceived student of Malick’s style, from Shane Carruth to Leah Meyerhoff) with Malick does both the Italian-born Pallaoro and Medeas a disservice. Hence early analogies drawn between Andrea Pallaoro’s excellent debut, Medeas, and the American maestro’s works, currently enjoying a period of serious creative vitality. Arthouse fare nestled within the American heartland is, and probably always shall be, considered Terrence Malick’s territory.
