Why does a thousand-year-old story still resonate today? | With Christopher Nolan & Matt Damon

from The Point with Liu Xin

Thousands of years after Homer's epic was first told, The Odyssey returns to the big screen in a bold new vision from Oscar-winning director Christopher Nolan. Shot entirely with IMAX cameras, the film brings Odysseus' legendary journey to life on an unprecedented scale. But is The Odyssey really just a story about a man trying to get home? What if Odysseus doesn't actually want to go back? And why does this ancient story still resonate today? Join us as we look beyond the epic journey and explore what this timeless story might really be about.
