‘A towering piece of monoculture’: how The Odyssey discourse has dominated this summer

-
Christopher Nolan’s smash hit epic has continued to excite and enrage everyone from rightwingers to academics, an old-fashioned throwback to a uniting big-screen event Peter Bradshaw reviews The Odyssey The Odyssey: jaw-dropping action, dark magic and dolphin cameos – discuss with spoilers Go woke, get rich: why rightwing hate campaigns don’t affect the box office If a high-profile academic is reviewing a movie for the London Review of Books , that movie in question must be making some kind of mark on some kind of culture. And if people are actually reading a movie review in the London Review of Books, and writing thinkpieces in disagreement or favor of said movie or its review, that movie may actually be a cultural phenomenon. Normally, volume of discourse about a movie should not be mistaken for a sign that people are actually seeing it. Sometimes online factions just have a bored fixation not shared by the rest of the world. But Christopher Nolan ’s The Odyssey has some major recei...
