Odyssey

DFS: Myths Revisited

The tremendous success of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, which kicks off this series, inspired us to look at how mythology has been inflected in many excellent films, through the decade and around the world. From elements of Shintoism in Miyazaki's My Neighbor Totoro to Mayan and Aztec elements in Gregory Nava's 1983 classic El Norte, films that tap into ancient wisdom embodied in myth speak to perspectives across time and cultures on what it means to be human.
