...treat it harshly--in his film at least--and Yukio Mishima's Rite of Love and Death (1965), showing with it this Friday, is similarly made within assumptions rather than about them. But Rite has none of the warmth of Mizoguchi: love is sublime and passionate rather than tender, death is ordained and noble rather than resented and mesay.

With hardly a word Maria Callas conveys the extremes of Medea's superhuman passions--her obsession, turning to jealousy, for Jason; her tender love for her children; and the cold cruelty of revenge and finality with which she kills her two sons. She does not act but rather moves with naturalness, with complete assurance and belief in herself...
