The ships have arrived at Ithaca! #NolanClub finishes its epic run with our review of Christopher Nolan’s ambitious 2025 film, The Odyssey! We’ll share our theories on how Nolan interprets the magic of the gods, tackle the towering presence of the Cyclops, and discuss why poor Telemachus just can’t seem to catch a break. Despite some questionable casting choices and the challenges posed by the nonlinear source material, Nolan delivers a big, brawny all-star spectacle. So grab your popcorn, settle in, and join us for a journey through one of the most audacious retellings of Homer’s epic poem to hit the big screen.
