J’étais en route pour aller voir le film.

Penelope, Léo et Kloé sont venus en métro.

Ils ont rejoint au banc de Berri pour les mener au cinéma par la suite: les 2 habitants

du vaste Plateau Mont-Royal, les 4 du Nouveau-Rosemont, celui de Verdun riveraine de la plage ainsi que celui de la lointaine Laval.

Ceux du centre sud, basse du pont, sont venus avec leur BIXI, sur lequel était monté 2 cyclistes téméraires.

La Honda Odyssey des boisés sacrés de Lanaudière, initialement conduite par Eleonor, puis par la suite par Thomas, arriva au cinéma avec leurs 6 vaillants spectateurs.

Etc.

I'd love to see your letterboxd, if you're comfortable making it public. Unless you meant that line rhetorically!

Great read! (The best review I read of The Odyssey, but it's not a review of The Odyssey.) Wonderful artwork. I've been encouraging people to just watch the film without the baggage, but perhaps that misses the point. I didn't care for the film, but I enjoyed the surrounding experience. Hope you actually like the movie, though.

I don't even know what it means to share my Letterboxd haha, I am vaguely aware that it has social features but have never used them! I have just been using it as a record of films I watched for about a year

And thanks! Being able to share a handful of my favorite Odyssey-related artwork is one of the reasons I wrote the post at all

I don't actually use Letterboxd and don't know what all of the features are, but I like reading people's reviews. If you write reviews on there you can share the link so people can see what your write, though if you just log and rate films then it is of lower utility (though some people still might like seeing your ratings).

Ah yeah no I don't have the patience to actually write reviews!

I just watched it yesterday in an open-air cinema here in Greece. Enjoy your experience, nice post!

Woah I wonder if I can watch it in some cool way in Sicily

Polyphemus is the saddest thing in the film - even more than Argos ! He didn’t even get his Nobody moment ! Love the painting - he looks so sweet.

Étienne Fortier-Dubois's avatar

He looks cooler and scarier than any cyclops I’ve seen though, based on the trailers! Looking forward to understanding what the fuss around Nobody is all about!

“Vengeance for Pain !” is all I’m going to say - until you see the film 🍿 :) :) Enjoy !
