Screening of Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, with Matt Damon, subtitled and with an interval at the Electric Palace.
Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey is coming to the Electric Palace on Thursday 26 November, with the screening running from 11:00 to 14:00. It's an epic fantasy that takes Homer's ancient Greek tale and puts it on screen, following Odysseus, the king of Ithaca, on his long and perilous journey home after the Trojan War to reunite with his wife, Penelope.
Matt Damon stars as Odysseus, and the supporting cast is a proper ensemble: Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong'o, Zendaya, Charlize Theron, and Samantha Morton as Circe. It's a big-name line-up for a story that's thousands of years old, and it's Nolan at the helm, so you can expect the scale he's known for.
The screening runs 173 minutes, which is nearly three hours, so it's a fair stretch of a morning. It's subtitled and includes an interval, so there's a break to stretch your legs halfway through. It carries a 15 rating, so keep that in mind if you're thinking of bringing anyone younger.
