The Bacchae Trailers

A talented ensemble cast bring Euripides masterpiece to life. The Bacchae (also called The Bacchants or Bakchai in Greek) tells the story of the god Dionysus who comes to the city of Thebes disguised as a charismatic young man accompanied by a throng of erotic female maenads. The immortal play is a study in fanatical religions and confronts the personal balance that we all must find between order and spontaneity.

Reviews
Ava-Grace Willis Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.
Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Caryl It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.
