Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey Review | Ep. 68
from 3 Brothers Filmcast · host Aren Bergstrom
Is THE ODYSSEY a good adaptation of Homer? How does it function as a mainstream blockbuster? Has Nolan been making some form of THE ODYSSEY over and over again throughout his entire career? The Brothers answer all these questions and more in their Trojan Horse-sized review of Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY. In particular, they focus on how Nolan adapts the character of Odysseus, the film’s themes of guilt and civilizational decline, its most surprising performances, and how it fits into Nolan’s filmography.1:21 - Keynote3:45 - Roundtable: “The Odyssey”Further Reading:- Aren’s essay on “The Odyssey”Read more of the 3 Brothers’ reviews, features, and roundtables at 3 Brothers Film.Subscribe to the 3 Brothers Film Substack.Subscribe to the 3 Brothers Film YouTube Channel.
