![]() ![]() The Coen Brother's went a step further: they took Homer to the cinema in a way that hardly resembles Homer. Its a kind of literature extremely difficult to adapt.

Reviewed by Filipe Neto 6 / 10 A worthy and successful effort.Īny film director who decides to try to use material of Homer, Ovid or another classic immediately deserves congratulations for the courage. Sprung from a chain gang and trying to reach Everett's home to recover the buried loot of a bank heist they are confronted by a series of strange characters-among them sirens, a cyclops, bank robber George "Baby Face" Nelson (very annoyed by that nickname), a campaigning governor and his opponent, a KKK lynch mob, and a blind prophet who warns the trio that "the treasure you seek shall not be the treasure you find." Loosely based on Homer's "Odyssey," the movie deals with the picaresque adventures of Ulysses Everett McGill and his companions Delmar and Pete in 1930s Mississipi. ![]()
