Behind the Scenes: The Odyssey

Art and technology combine for epic storytelling, if you believe the marketing for Christopher Nolan’s latest.

If you’re going to make a film of a poem compiled 3,000 years ago, which is based on events 7,000 years before that, you may as well as do so with the scale of set, ambition, spectacle, and technology that Hollywood used to recreate Babylon back in 1919.
