Discussion of "The Odyssey"
One of the most anticipated movies of the year, Christopher Nolan's take on "The Odyssey" is already making a huge popular and critical impact, with much to examine about its themes both resonate today and how it compares both with classic epic poem and with Nolan's other films. At 2 hours and 52 minutes, the film makes an impact on a person's schedule as well. So people should check out the movie at their own convenience (highly recommended at the biggest screen possible, which in Chicago is in True IMAX at the Showcase Icon on Roosevelt, FauxMAX at the City North on Western, and in 70mm at the Music Box on Southport) and then drop by the Warehouse to join in the discussion about it!
