Rowing On with a Shameful Past in Your Arms — 'The Odyssey'

I saw Christopher Nolan's new film 'The Odyssey' on opening day. An immersion so complete it rendered my old habit of dissecting a director's every device meaningless — and the questions that Odysseus's shame and homecoming, three thousand years old, still pose to us today. A record of the first time I couldn't bring myself to leave as the credits rolled.
