We are wrapping up our coverage of all things Odyssey with a review of Christopher Nolan's film. An emphasis is placed on analysing how Nolan re-motivated the story and characters to serve his adaptation of the poem that centres on the effects of war on the human psyche. We will also discuss the purposeful omissions, some technical elements and finally provide a conclusion.
