It’s another full house on the ITBR! Joining us today are Professors Angela Weisl, Liz Schmermund and Elizabeth Redwine! Nolan’s “The Odyssey” adaptation was the biggest hit of the summer, spanning a massive production with Hollywood A-Listers that some would call his most ambitious film yet. But…how did it land with scholars?
Being familiar with the source material, we dug into all the changes made from the book, what we enjoyed and what could have been improved upon. From the characterization of the titular character Odysseus to the portrayal of Circe, we made sure to touch as many bases as possible within this epic adaptation of the classic story!
Check out these professors!
