This jaw dropping locations The film’s backdrop will be a major part of the film’s visual spectacle. Then there are the technological advances (it is the first film shot entirely on IMAX film), the huge production budget (approximately $250 million), the star-studded cast (Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Zendaya, Charlize Theron and many more), and the universality and timelessness of the story. Given the director’s practically flawless critical track record, such as contemporary classics Interstellar And beginning (Too much Tenet This is a blip, but we can get Guy Pearce in souvenir and forget about that), it would be shocking to fail this one.
Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey is divided into 24 chapters, and follows the hero Odysseus on his vast homeward journey from Troy to Ithaca, after the Trojan War. As the story is informed by myth and ancient folklore (gods interacting with men, shape-shifting beings and journeys to the underworld), it is always disputed how much of the story locations are set in real locations, but many are thought to be inspired by or based on locations throughout the South Europe and North Africa. The dramatic backdrop of the new film is a brilliant starting point to embark on your own odyssey, albeit perhaps for ten days rather than ten years.
The Odyssey: Locations used for filming that you can visit
Greece
as The Odyssey Rooted in ancient Greek mythology, naturally, the locations in Greece are a key part of the story. There is controversy over where Ithaca is thought to be, but scholars generally consider it a collage of various Greek islands. This city Pylos is mentioned in the poem, as Odysseus’ son Telemachus goes there to find his father. Nolan elected to shoot around Pylos and other locations in Messenia in the Peloponnese of southern Greece. These include Nestor’s Cave, the dramatic, extensive Voidokilea Beach, Almirolaka Beach, Methoni Castle and Acrocorinth. Strict regulations were made to ensure the protection of the nature and history of the sites used for filming.
