Wowow the Odyssey is absolutely amazing! Truly an epic film.
*spoilers below* (although it is a 3000 year old story lol)
Anne Hathaway’s performance is particularly memorable. The way she shows the delusional energy slipping through the cracks of Penelope’s noble facade is inspired. And the reunion dialogue with Odysseus will surely win her an Oscar.
I also loved Christopher Nolan’s framing of the first act through the view of Odysseus piecing together his memories on Calypso’s island as he stops eating the lotus flowers. Then it continued as we watched him live out the prophecy she shared with him before he left. Peak storycraft.
Robert Pattinson’s Antinous was a fantastic villain, smooth and sly at first, until he reveals his true colors and starts to make you hate him, so his eventual death by Odysseus’ hand is all the more satisfying.
And I can’t not mention the costuming, which was period appropriate yet told a story of its own.
So much more to mention, but just go see it yourselves!!
