Ovid and the Art of Love

I enjoyed the film Ovid and the Art of Love for its complex storytelling and intelligent setting. The film is able to convey Ovid’s remarkable journey from a simple student of law to Rome’s most beloved poet. The setting (a mixture of ancient Rome and modern Detroit), brings the audience into a unique atmosphere, with characters in period Roman clothing walking around in a modern abandoned parking garage. This serves as an effective way to bridge the past to the present.
