## Key points

- Nolan’s *The Odyssey* is framed as his boldest film yet.
- Matt Damon leads an extensive A-list cast.
- The review says Nolan’s name is the film’s biggest attraction.

## Summary

Christopher Nolan’s *The Odyssey* is presented as his most ambitious film yet, adapting Homer’s ancient Greek epic for a modern cinema audience. The review argues that Nolan’s reputation, rather than the film’s unusually star-studded cast, is likely to be the main draw for viewers, reflecting his rare ability to make director-led films major theatrical events.

Matt Damon leads an ensemble that includes Anne Hathaway, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson and Charlize Theron. The article places the film in a wider industry context: as individual film stars have become less reliable box-office attractions, Nolan is described as one of the few filmmakers whose name can independently attract large audiences.
