©Universal/Courtesy Everett Collection “The Odyssey” is one hell of a journey.
Once again, director Christopher Nolan enlists a cast of A-list actors and jumbles timelines to tell his ambitious version of Odysseus’ journey from Homer’s “The Odyssey.”
Set after the conclusion of the 10-year Trojan War, the story follows the hero Odysseus (Matt Damon) as he returns to Ithaca, a journey that takes nearly as much time as the war. Borrowing from the Greek tradition of oral storytelling, Nolan’s nearly three-hour adaptation is told through the accounts of a bard (played by Travis Scott) who spins tales of the great warrior and Odysseus himself as he reflects on the events of his homecoming voyage.
