The Odyssey at Scotiabank - Nolan takes on Homer

Film outing - buy your own ticket. Optional short talk after.

Short summary

Christopher Nolan taking on The Odyssey feels like one of those movies that should be seen huge, loud, and with other people around.

Ancient myth, impossible homecomings, gods, monsters, family damage - all filtered through Nolan's machinery.

Whether it ends up brilliant, excessive, or both, I want to see it in a theatre with people who will have opinions after.

Ticket note

Please buy your own ticket by Thursday night, June 25 if you want to sit near the group.

Most of us are aiming for rows E and D, so grab a seat in one of those rows if you want to be close to us.

The plan

Arrive a little early, find seats, watch the movie, then whoever wants can hang around after for a short reaction chat.

This is a movie outing, not a formal discussion night.
