Emily Wilson, the classicist whose 2017 translation of Homer’s Odyssey was cited by Christopher Nolan in early publicity for his hugely successful adaptation of the poem, has roundly criticised the film, saying “it has nothing convincing to say” and that it “lacks psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth”.
As an adaptation of Homer’s Odyssey, Christopher Nolan’s movie is a disaster. As a movie, it doesn’t seem to be very good. As a money maker, it’s on track to break-even by the end of this week.
The Nolan fan club rave about all of his movies, hoping it makes them look smart.
