‘The Odyssey’ – The Movie | The Story behind the Story

Rediscover Homer’s ancient myth before Nolan’s modern film adaptation. Uncover what got lost in translation in this epic world of heroes.
About this Event

Christopher Nolan defies the odds (and the gods) with a spectacular retelling of Homer’s epic. In this modern, updated version, Nolan has refashioned the myth for today’s audience. But what has gotten lost in the translation? In his zeal to make what is ancient appear relevant and relatable, what got left behind, what got forgotten with the passage of time?
Come rediscover the myth before it became a movie as we try to take a glimpse at a little bit of the world through the eyes of Odysseus during a time of gods, heroes, and endless adventure.
