How do you adapt one of the most important stories in Western literature without losing its essence?

In this episode of Entrequemados, we analyze The Odyssey, Christopher Nolan's new film, and discuss one of the most ambitious releases of the year.

We talk about Matt Damon's performance as Odysseus, the work of Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, John Leguizamo, and Elliott Page, the film's pacing, the modern language that has generated so much debate, Nolan's narrative choices, and the difficulty of condensing a monumental work into a three-hour film.

We also discuss whether the film manages to convey the emotional weight of Odysseus's journey, how it compares to other works by the director such as Interstellar, Oppenheimer, and Dunkirk, and whether it truly deserves to be among the best films in his filmography.
