Найдорожчий фільм Нолана: чого чекати від екранізації «Одіссеї»? Та за що її вже критикують?

Christopher Nolan's most expensive and largest film, The Odyssey, has been released in Ukrainian cinemas. But even before its world premiere, the film found itself at the epicenter of scandals due to multi-racial casting and historical unreliability of costumes and scenery. Although the director deliberately violates the canons of historical epics established by Hollywood, how fair are these claims? In this episode of "Kulturimo", host Valeria Pavlenko talks about how Nolan's latest film was created, why all possible plots of the works have already been written, and how the Greek poem influenced world culture. How did Homer inspire the authors of "Star Wars", "Harry Potter" and "The Matrix"? Why, despite this, are there so few adaptations of Greek mythology in Hollywood? Why did Nolan make Matt Damon grow a beard for the role, and what is the idea behind the participation of rapper Travis Scott in the filming?
