Is this cut (from Sylvie (Huppert) writing her novel to Sylvie (Huppert) entering a flat) both a sound and a 'video bridge' in Farhadi's PARALLEL TALES? Is she writing herself into a story, or is this just an aesthetically pleasing editing in a film that plays with imagination? youtu.be/y7XsEhGuGyM

Vertov on the ‘kino-eye’ in 1923: “We cannot improve the making of our eyes, but we can endlessly perfect the camera.” Today, distant viewing scholars on the 'computer-eye': “We cannot improve the making of our eyes, but we can endlessly perfect the computer.”

“The close attention to the text that informs Wilson’s translation is lacking in her reading of the movie, and the idea that Nolan might have something new to say about the Odyssey is denied.” slate.com/culture/2026....

As a Classicist, I’ve Defended Emily Wilson’s Odyssey Translation. I Can’t Defend Her Review of Nolan’s Movie.
Emily Wilson used baffling arguments to flay Christopher Nolan’s adaptation of Homer’s poem.

Wilson: “There are no sex scenes [in Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY]” I just reread Homer’s epic poem and cannot recall any sex scenes (beyond indirect allusions). 🤷‍♂️ www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Is it correct that Wilson translates the ancient Greek word polytropos as "complicated"? In the Hungarian translation it's "leleményes," which means more like "resourceful" or something close to that. Add this to the 'debate'...

It’s nice to see everyone’s textual analysis of The Odyssey It’s almost like the humanities give you entertainment, feelings, pleasure, and fun/interesting stuff to talk about, as well as lenses into both past and current society

Now that THE ODYSSEY has finally been released, has your favorite clickbait film critic gotten off their sofas and gone to actually watch the film they’ve been trash-talking for months, or have they already moved on to the next target?

“Nolan floats a convincing psychological reason why this Odysseus subconsciously believes his duplicitous actions during the war deserve permanent exile from civilization.” www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

Review: Christopher Nolan’s 'The Odyssey' is a mighty Trojan horse of his thematic obsessions
Generously sized and steered toward realism, the director's take on Odysseus is epically satisfying, even if it skimps on the character's ego and lust.

“The point is that the war, its supposed aims, its storied strategic success and presumed outcome are all irrelevant compared to the long, bizarre chaos of the aftermath, the giant toxic effect that follows the forgotten cause.” www.theguardian.com/film/2026/ju...

The Odyssey review – Nolan goes god-tier with breathtaking epic of men, monsters and moral metamorphosis
Doing full justice to the Homeric legend, Christopher Nolan amasses an epic cast to convey the true cost of war with film-making of thrilling ambition
