If Christopher Nolan needs to bury you alive under volcanic sand to get the most out of a scene, then by gods (plural intended) he's going to do it. And that's exactly what he did while filming The Odyssey's eerie trip to Hades—filmed at the hauntingly beautiful Hjörleifshöfði in Iceland.

In every civilisation, certain stories capture the psyche so profoundly that they are retold across centuries. In the West, Homer’s Odyssey is the one. Countless adaptations have emerged over millennia, inspiring literary giants from Dante Alighieri to James Joyce. Christopher Nolan’s cinematic adaptation is merely the latest. While it reflects the British-American filmmaker’s personal vision, it also offers a glimpse into the anxieties and self-reflections of today’s Western elite. Homer’s...

Ostrůvek Ithaka v Jónském moři je oproti svým řeckým kolegům relativně opomíjený. Přestože se pyšní krásnými plážemi, průzračným mořem a okouzlujícími zátokami, nikdy nebyl zrovna turistickým epicentrem. To by se však mohlo změnit díky filmovému hitu Odyssea. Vyšší zájem se však projeví nejdříve v příští letní sezoně.

Es el repudiado, ese que Christopher Nolan dejó en la esquina de los olvidados en su largometraje a pesar de que Homero le dedicó un libro entero –la 'Ilíada'– y varias páginas de la 'Odisea', en la que aparece como espíritu. Ni un fotograma ha regalado el director a Aquiles, el pélida –hijo de Peleo–, el guerrero que venció a Héctor y que, según la traición, impulsó la caída de Troya . A cambio, el autor clásico si narró sus pormenores, sus deseos, sus batallas, sus desvelos… y hasta describió...
