The Odyssey

Odysseus, the legendary king of Ithaca, is heading home after the Trojan War. What should have been a short journey turns into a ten-year odyssey, in which he is the plaything of vengeful gods, mythological monsters, and life-threatening shipwrecks. Together with his loyal crew, he will have to use all his resourcefulness to ever see his wife Penelope and son Telemachus again. And there are rivals lurking... Three years after the massive success of Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan has another masterpiece ready. For the adaptation of Homer's classic, no expense or effort was spared. For instance, filming took place in more than six countries. Nolan is known for using as few computer effects as possible; for this, they even filmed in the middle of the ocean for four months, with all the harsh conditions that entailed. The Odyssey is one big love letter to classic Hollywood epics (Lawrence of Arabia, Ben-Hur, The Ten Commandments). No further words are needed: you simply have to see this film.
