  1. My first foray into classical Graeco-Roman literature (I've read a bit of viking stuff like Beowulf before). I can see why Hollywood is attracted to this one; it builds through a series of smaller adventures into a satisfyingly brutal scene of action and violence. Also a very interesting insight into the mores and beliefs of the ancient world, with the gods helping or harming people according to their tastes and moods rather than any moral standards. The translator #EmilyWilson provides an interesting introduction, which like most introductions, would be better read after you've read the actual story. #Bookstodon @bookstodon

  26. Although this is yet another review that doesn't explicitly include a focus on the format, it is the best overall review I've found (by ).

    The local 15/70mm IMAX theater has added additional showings through at least the next 6 weeks, so I may be able to get to one without being part of a (near literal) stampede.

    But it may merely be Sound and Fury, signifying nothing.

    For $25-$35 😬😮‍💨

  31. Cinema: o orgulho cego de Nolan em Odisseia

    Na proposta de adaptação do premiado diretor, haverá algo além do apelo à grandiosidade da obra homérica? Nem tudo no filme é descartável. Mas ele aproxima-se mais de um medievo genérico, sem as potencialidades da história original

    outraspalavras.net/poeticas/ci

  32. "Cualquier representación seria de la violencia, ya sea antigua o moderna, debe mostrar las perspectivas tanto de las víctimas como de los perpetradores, y los poemas homéricos superan con creces ese listón, pero Nolan no lo hace. Los troyanos están deshumanizados por sus máscaras; no conocemos a ninguno de ellos por su nombre ni por su rostro."
