The Odyssey

The Odyssey is showing at Harbour Lights Picturehouse this Sunday, 16 August, at 19:30. It's Christopher Nolan's take on the old epic, and it's a long one — 172 minutes, so you'll want to clear your evening.

The story follows Odysseus on his long, perilous journey home after the Trojan War. Along the way he runs into Polyphemus the cyclops, the Sirens and Circe, before he finally makes it back to his wife, Penelope. It's a 15 certificate, so it's not for the little ones.

Nolan's put together a huge cast for this. Matt Damon leads it, with Robert Pattinson, Tom Holland, Zendaya, Anne Hathaway, Charlize Theron, Lupita Nyong'o and Elliot Page all in the mix. It's a big ensemble for a story that's mostly about one man trying to get home.

Harbour Lights is a two-screen cinema and bar overlooking the marina in Ocean Village, with indoor and outdoor seating and a dog-friendly space. Its programme runs from current blockbusters and family favourites to independent gems, cult classics and world cinema, with a bar and café for before or after the film. There's a membership starting from £52 a year for a standard adult that adds free cinema tickets, 10% off food and drink, £3 off regular ticket prices, no booking fees and exclusive previews, alongside 'Happy Mondays' cheaper tickets and a Kids' Club and Toddler Time. Child tickets for the film are £3.
