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

Brilliant translator of the Odyssey, Emily Wilson, takes an in-depth look at Christopher Nolan's film and let's just say she finds Homer's poem much richer and exciting than what she saw in the theater.

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 #EmilyWilson #iykyk).
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 😬😮💨

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 originalhttps://outraspalavras.net/poeticas/cinema-o-orgulho-cego-de-nolan-em-odisseia/

OUCH! The Translator of #TheOdyssey Just Slammed #ChristopherNolan’s Movie
“I would be ashamed to have written any part of this script,” wrote #EmilyWilson, the first woman to translate The Odyssey into English.
By Josh OsmanPublished: Jul 27, 2026 1:20 PM EDT
Excerpt: "Throughout her piece, the scholar notes that no adaptation should necessarily follow an original exactly. (In fact, she praises some radically reinterpretations of The Odyssey, including #MargaretAtwood's #Penelopiad, #MadelineMiller's #Circe, and other literary classics that riff off the text, including those of #Euripides, #JohnMilton, and #JamesJoyce.)"
