Medea

The audience's emotional response to Medea (1988) is dominated by profound Sadness and intense Anger stemming from Medea's unjust betrayal and banishment. Empathy is strongly felt for her plight, even as the narrative builds Anxiety and a deeply Disturbing sense of dread regarding her inevitable, vengeful actions. An overarching Melancholy pervades the film, coupled with growing Fear for the characters caught in the unfolding tragedy.
