Emily Wilson, author of an acclaimed recent translation of Homer's Odyssey, manages to contextualize issues with Nolan's film as an adaptation in ways that I could not. She really gets to the ambivalence at the middle of this film. Nolan wants to have everything both ways with regards to Odysseus' guilt & culpability. https://www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v48/n14/emily-wilson/an-uncomplicated-man
