The recent release of Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” has turned just about every film critic in America into a classicist, and vice versa. But the question of how adaptation works has a strong connection to the root of cinematic modernity, Richard Brody writes. The history of cinema itself can be seen mostly as one of adaptation, he argues. He considers the art of the literary adaptation, and how translating stories from one form to another is at the heart of cinema—and its criticism: https://t.co/oC02e3xu6a

For purists like you (as I’m one of them), here’s the original video with hardcoded English subtitles, preserving Park Chan-wook’s natural voice.
Original Korean audio, with English subtitles.
Christopher Nolan and Park Chan-wook in conversation.
The complete interview was released in Korean, with Nolan speaking in English. An official complete English version of the conversation has not been released.
I’ve put together an English version so the entire conversation can be followed in English, while preserving Nolan’s original voice and using the English auto-dub for Park Chan-wook.
They discuss The Odyssey, adaptation, the Trojan Horse, Odysseus’s guilt and responsibility, the gods, sound and music, filmmaking, and the creative process.
The Odyssey: look how we put 50 guys in a literal trojan horse half filled with water = billion dollars
Project Hail Mary: check it out, the alien is a literal puppet = 700 million dollars
Sinners: here is a 10 minute breakdown on how kodak film works = 400 million dollars

I interviewed @ZhugeYY / 仲树, whose interview with Nolan went so viral that Americans couldn’t stop talking and fighting about. A prolific podcast host (360 eps in 3 years!!) and social media poster in China, she found herself in new spotlight and new controversies all of a sudden.
Now, the American right has claimed her and is using her intellectual achievement as evidence that the West is falling behind; the American left is digging into her affiliations to prove she’s a secret Zionist.
Zhuge says she’s not trying to insert herself into the debate of whether the Western civilization is in decline, and she’s not actively seeking fame, especially in the English speaking world now. Still, she’s learning what it means to be a true main character on X.

Have you seen The Odyssey yet?
It's now the fourth highest-grossing film of the year, and the hype shows no sign of slowing down.
At the @BFI in London, every screening is sold out until mid-September so I went behind the scenes to find out how the UK's largest IMAX cinema is handling one of the biggest movies of the year.
