🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its narrative on the delicate contrast of two eras, relying on visual poetry and allegory. It explores the nature of desire and creativity through Ovid's texts, examining their dangerous and liberating power.

What lingers after viewing is a hypnotic journey into a world where eroticism becomes philosophy, and a classical plot finds contemporary resonance. The film leaves one with a sense of initiation into an ancient mystery. — MovieFinder Editorial
