The translator cited by Christopher Nolan as an influence on his film adaptation of The Odyssey has released a scathing review of the action fantasy movie, saying that she “would be ashamed to have written any part” of the script.
Emily Wilson, whose 2017 translation of Homer’s epic poem was praised by Nolan, blasted his film in the London Review of Books.
Wilson pointed out the many ways in which the blockbuster deviates from the original ancient Greek poem and argued that the adaptation lacks “psychological, emotional, political and ethical depth.”
