Christopher Nolan's Odyssey has not opened in theaters yet, and it is already being called the cinematic event of the year. The film has generated enough buzz to split critics and audiences before a single ticket has been sold.
Greek journalist Ada Daliaka, who covers culture for the newspaper To Vima, sat down with Yannis Diamantis to break down what is real and what is hype surrounding the most talked-about film of the summer. The conversation was published as part of To Vima's daily podcast, which is available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Nolan is no stranger to blockbuster ambition. From Interstellar to Oppenheimer, he has a track record of swinging for something massive and occasionally missing. His adaptation of Homer's Odyssey appears to be his most technically demanding project to date, and the mythology surrounding the production has already taken on a life of its own.
The podcast episode promises to separate confirmed facts from circulating myths about the film, its casting, and its production. Matt Damon has been linked to the project in various reports, though details about the full cast remain tightly controlled by the studio.
Whether Nolan pulls it off or hands audiences one of the most ambitious failures in recent memory is a question the film itself will have to answer.
