Summary

In this edition, Critic Emma Jones tells us why Christopher Nolan’s take on the Greek epic was worth the wait – and the eye-watering budget – and how the themes of this ancient story still speak to contemporary audiences. The all-star cast includes Matt Damon as a world-weary Odysseus, Anne Hathaway embodies a very patient Penelope and Lupita Nyong’O plays both Helen of Troy and her twin sister Clytemnestra.
