    Very much enjoyed this (abridged) adaptation, Pasolini took many many many creative licenses, but his justification for them at the end of the film was very compelling for what he wanted to convey. He said that his two biggest decisions for the film were (1) it'd all be set on Ithica (shot on Corfu), and (2) there would be no gods. I have many things I could say about this film, but overall I think it's quite a successful character study. Especially with his treatment of Telemachus

    I've been watching a lot of David Lynch's films lately and I can definitely see a progression and development of certain themes across his works. I think this is the film where I got the clearest vision of those themes.

    A better adaptation of one of my favourite books than I was expecting. Nicolas Cage is excellent as Miller, and I feel Gabe Polsky has captured the mythical/Homeric nature I could see in John William's book in his film.

    I enjoyed the 20 minute long menu screen a bit more than the actual film
