The Odyssey hit theaters back in July to rave reviews (with the exception of the translator of the epic poem’s most popular edition) and wild success, far surpassing $1 billion at the international box office. It stars Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, and more ancient Greeks.
Like Homer’s source material, it’s a largely episodic story as hero Odysseus encounters all sorts of problems as he makes his way back home to Ithaca, where his wife Penelope and his son Telemachus wait. Along the way he encounters a Cyclops, some Sirens, a witch named Circe, and other side quests.
In our review of the movie, critic Scott Collura wrote, “Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is a must-watch cinematic experience, an epic film version of an epic poem that adapts many of the out-there concepts of Homer through a new eye that frequently brings a sense of horror and existential angst to the story – and even a bit of humor too!”
