Christopher Nolan’s spectacular adaptation of Homer’s epic poem follows Odysseus, king of Ithaca, on his fraught voyage home after the Trojan War. He and his shipmates run into strange and dangerous obstacles – including a cyclops, Sirens and vengeful gods – that turn their voyage into a years-long fight for survival. Back in Ithaca, Odysseus’ wife Penelope fends off the increasingly aggressive advances of suitors determined to take the king’s place, while the couple’s son Telemachus sets off on his own journey to find his long-absent father. With extraordinary cinematography and production design, as well as an ensemble cast full of contemporary cinema’s finest actors, The Odyssey is one of Christopher Nolan’s most breathtaking and accomplished films yet. 15A (IFCO) / 15 (BBFC) Dir: Christopher Nolan Starring: Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Samantha Morton, Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong’o, John Leguizamo
