Step into a post-apocalyptic world where music, love, and destiny collide in 'O’DESSA', the bold and visionary rock opera from acclaimed filmmaker Geremy Jasper. Now on Hulu, this epic tale follows O’Dessa Galloway (Sadie Sink), a farm girl on a quest to reclaim her family’s stolen heirloom guitar, the “Willa,” in a dangerous, dystopian city. Along the way, she encounters her one true love, Euri Dervish (Kelvin Harrison Jr.), but saving his soul will require her to face her greatest challenge yet.
With a star-studded cast including Regina Hall as the fearsome Neon Dion and Murray Bartlett as the enigmatic Plutonovich, 'O’DESSA' is a cinematic art form that blends sci-fi, fantasy, and rock opera into a visually stunning and emotionally resonant experience. The film features 13 original songs, each reflecting the unique sound of its characters, and a richly designed world that draws inspiration from iconic works like 'The Wizard of Oz' and 'Brazil'.
Jasper, who spent nearly two decades dreaming up this project, describes 'O’DESSA' as a “psychedelic folk fantasy” and a “heroine’s journey” that explores the transformative power of music in a broken world. The film’s production, shot in Croatia, brings to life a dystopian landscape that feels both otherworldly and eerily familiar, with striking visuals and costumes that push the boundaries of imagination.
Sadie Sink, known for her breakout role in 'Stranger Things', delivers a defining performance as O’Dessa, a character who communicates her deepest emotions through song. Kelvin Harrison Jr. shines as Euri, a magnetic figure torn between love and loyalty, while Regina Hall and Murray Bartlett bring depth and menace to their respective roles.
'O’DESSA' is a sensory feast that challenges conventions and celebrates the power of storytelling. With its music, breathtaking visuals, and universal themes of hope and resilience, this is a cinematic journey you can enjoy.
