I’ve seen a few posts comparing Christopher Nolan’s 2026 movie, The Odyssey with Emily Wilson’s translation of Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey. Recently, she came out with a scathing critique of the movie (it was 🔥👏) but I’m curious what others have thought - particularly those who have watched Nolan’s movie & read Wilson’s translation!
Here’s the 🔗 link to her critique.
One of the things that stood out to me most was her critique on how there were no sex scenes portrayed, or even alluded to in the movie. In Homer’s The Odyssey, Odysseus has sexual relationships with Circe & Calypso (and of course, Penelope), but they were not included in the movie - it makes me wonder more about what Nolan was trying to say with his interpretation of Odysseus and his relationship with other women, or particularly, other goddesses.
What did you all think of Wilson’s critique? What stood out to you?
