This week on Code Noir, CJ François and Jamaal review Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, one of the most ambitious films of the decade.

From breathtaking visuals and powerhouse performances to Nolan's interpretation of Homer's ancient epic, we explore whether this cinematic spectacle honours one of history's greatest stories or carves out a bold new path of its own.

We discuss the direction, performances, themes, score, action, and where The Odyssey ranks among Nolan's extraordinary filmography. Most importantly, we ask: does this modern adaptation deserve to stand alongside the greatest epic films ever made?

Join us as we journey through myth, history, and cinema to find out.
