We discuss the already over-discussed Christopher Nolan adaptation of Homer’s classic poem. Mark, Lawrence, Sarahlyn and Al discuss their cinema-going experiences, Ludwig Göransson’s soundtrack, choices re. the book-to-film transition, the various performances, the Emily Wilson connection, and more.
Listen to Mark’s Emily Wilson Odyssey (the book) PEL interview. Read her take on the film. Note that the poem has been covered in multi-episode arcs on (sub)Text and Closereads.
Read Lawrence’s essay about this film that got him lots of hate mail.
Listen to our previous Nolan episode.
You can’t piss on hospitality (here’s the longer Troll 2 scene with context).
Follow us @law_writes, @sarahlynbruck, @MarkLinsenmayer. Al’s social media, like The Odyssey’s more extensive depictions of the gods, is absent in this presentation.
