“Hallelujah! Something besides the same old, same old. Movies have become so predictable lately that it is refreshing to find one that can actually surprise the viewer. Enter Ovid and the Art of Love. Which is ironic considering the subject matter is centuries old.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eSetting the Roman subjects in the ruins of Detroit is a stroke of genius; showing us that politicians and their hypocrisy have not changed since the dawn of time. The Roman and the Modern are so-well blended you could easily call this film Ovid and the Art of Anachronism.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAll in all a thought provoking look at current days through the lens of history.”
