Trailer for Metamorphoses, from director Christophe Honoré.
Written and directed by Christophe Honoré, starring Amira Akili, Sébastien Hirel, Mélodie Richard, George Babluani, and Damien Chapelle and produced by Philippe Martin, Metamorphoses is a revelatory modern-day retelling of Ovid’s Roman poem of the same name. Metamorphoses chronicles the journey of Europa, using select stories from the original work. When Europa skips class and meets a magnetic young man named Jupiter, she embarks on an unexpected and magical journey. Travelling aboard Jupiter’s eight-wheel truck, they arrive in a mythical land inhabited by powerful gods who can transform humans into plants or animals in the blink of an eye. Europa watches, listens, and plays in their immortal home, becoming acquainted with Jupiter’s friends, Bacchus and Orpheus. As the confrontation between seductive, yet vengeful gods and innocent mortals unfolds, Europa grasps a greater sense of life and love.
