CultureThe Odyssey: Matt Damon, Lupita Nyong’o and Anne Hathaway revive the epic

Critic Emma Jones examines Christopher Nolan’s version of the Greek epic The Odyssey. She says the film was worth the long wait, despite its eye-watering budget. The production also explores themes from the ancient story that continue to speak to contemporary audiences. Matt Damon plays a world-weary Odysseus, while Anne Hathaway portrays a notably patient Penelope. Lupita Nyong’o takes on both Helen of Troy and her twin sister, Clytemnestra, in the all-star cast.
