This time it\u2019s <em>The Odyssey<\/em>, his retelling of the classic epic poem about Odysseus, a veteran of the Trojan war and his years-long voyage to return home to his beloved wife Penelope and his loyal son Telemachus. Starring\u00a0Matt Damon as Odysseus, the film is about heroism, home, and storytelling itself.\u00a0Arranged in a complex non-linear structure, the movie is also about the passage of time and the slippery nature of good and evil.<\/p>\n<p>Nolan has returned to\u00a0the same\u00a0ideas\u00a0time and again; few\u00a0directors have as thematically or\u00a0formally consistent filmographies. That makes his career \u2014\u00a013 features to date including\u00a0<em>The Odyssey<\/em><em>\u00a0\u2014\u00a0<\/em>particularly rewarding to revisit. All of his movies speak to one another; repeating their visual motifs and\u00a0reexamining\u00a0their core beliefs. It\u2019s never a bad time to\u00a0look\u00a0at Nolan\u2019s work, but with a new\u00a0project on the horizon it\u2019s the perfect moment to reacquaint oneself with one of our most reliably\u00a0adventurous big-budget\u00a0filmmakers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ MORE:<\/strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/screencrush.com\/surprising-movies-released-same-day\/\">Surprising Pairs of Movies Released to Theaters on the Same Day<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p>My own Nolan rewatch yielded this ranking of his movies \u2014 keeping in mind that the \u201cworst\u201d movie on this list is still better than the vast majority of films released by Hollywood in any given year, and the\u00a0top two or three are among the very best movies of my life.
