The young Ovid enrages the brutal emperor by writing a provocative guide to love and runs for his life. Set in a world filled with togas, hip-hop, sneakers, oration, and poetry slams (think Baz Luhrmann's Romeo and Juliet or Hamilton), this film follows the life of the popular, witty, and controversial Roman poet, set in a lively mash-up of contemporary Detroit and ancient Rome.

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.
