Two figures stand on a vast, arid coastal flat under a pale, hazy sky. In the foreground, an older man with silver-streaked hair and a full grey beard wears a coarse, draped olive-green robe, his expression stern and weathered. Behind him, a younger woman in cream-coloured linen — a sleeveless dress and a loose head wrap — looks forward with a furrowed brow. The landscape stretches behind them: shallow tidal mudflats reflecting muted light, with low rocky ridges visible in the far distance. The overall palette is desaturated and sun-bleached.

About The Odyssey

Christopher Nolan returns with a visionary retelling of The Odyssey as a celebrated warrior’s decade-long voyage home becomes a reckoning with divine wrath, human frailty and the cost of survival.

Weaving between Odysseus’s (Matt Damon) harrowing encounters with mythological threats and the political unrest in Ithaca, where Penelope (Anne Hathaway) struggles to hold their kingdom against a rising tide of ambitious suitors, the film boasts a staggering ensemble cast including Tom Holland, Lupita Nyong’o, Robert Pattinson and Zendaya.

Shot across seven countries with minimal CGI, it’s the most ambitious undertaking of Nolan’s career. With stunning visuals and an epic score by Ludwig Göransson, The Odyssey promises to be a definitive big-screen experience.

  2. A Black man in his late forties wearing a light purple button-down shirt and dark trousers stands in a vast, empty room with yellowish walls, fluorescent panel lighting in the ceiling, and sparse wooden chairs in the background. He looks alert and slightly uneasy, as if disoriented in the liminal, maze-like space.
