Xenia, the Odyssey, and Supra (opens the original)
Read excerpt
IntroductionI have not watched the Odyssey by Christopher Nolan. There have been many takes by various people around symbolism, including some I strongly encourage engaging with, but I don’t plan on watching it and commenting on it. For me, the Odyssey on screen is just a childhood pleasure: the 1997 version with Armand Assante. I’ll leave it at that. <
