    If you know your Ovid it is a delight, if not you will be lost

    The ancients constantly retold myths, telling them in what for them was contemporary setting, and adapting the morals and meaning as well. In fact Ovid changed and moralized a number of Greek myths for his audience. I found this collection to be quite fresh and well done and highly recommend it.

    A perfect movie for a mental institution

    No review needed. If you watch this movie and you find it enjoyable, stop, leave what you are doing, and seek a psychiatrist with urgency! you are literally minutes away from a mental breakdown and your life and others are truly in danger.

    Not for the intellectually-challenged

    This movie is an adaptation of the poem written by the Roman poet Ovid. It has gorgeous cinematography and beautiful acting. I like the modern depiction of the gods in the Roman pantheon and their interactions with humans.

    what's happening

    In rural France, a hunter encounters a god in the woods. He gets turned into a deer and shot by his fellow hunter. Europa is a teen girl who picks up truck driver Jupiter. He tells her about the time he turned Io into a cow.

    This is basically Roman mythology in the modern age. This movie faces many difficulty. Mostly, it is very static. The actors are amateurs. Jupiter should probably be older. He's like a dirty hipster in this. The main plot is rather static and meandering. The recollections only make it even more static in the narrative flow. Then it turns into a convoluted mess. It's hard to follow the characters and the stories. It's a lot of naked people doing who knows what. There is a fluidity in sexuality. That's the only compelling aspect in this movie after the initial Jupiter and Europe encounter. I just stop caring about the plot if there is one. I don't know much about the Greek myths. At least, I could figure out Mother! I don't know what's going on here.
