Integrating often-stunning special effects with inventive art design, Konchalovsky achieves a beautiful look on a limited budget as he follows the 10-year ordeal of Odysseus from his battles with the Cyclops and the magical Circe (Bernadette Peters) to his secret homecoming and his confrontation with the treacherous Eurymachus (Eric Roberts). Isabella Rossellini appears as his spiritual guide, the goddess Athena, with Greta Scacchi as Odysseus's faithful wife and Vanessa Williams as the seductive Calypso. The rest of the cast includes Geraldine Chaplin, Jeroen Krabbé, Christopher Lee, and Irene Papas. The production was shot on location in and around the Mediterranean, making for a lush, lovely visual experience. --Sean Axmaker Customer Reviews Average Rating: Rating: - Where's the soundtrack? I loved this movie/mini series. I've watched it time and again. I've always wondered about the soundtrack..I just CANNOT find it anywhere. (There is a link on amazon music..waiting for the seller to respond if what he/she has is the real thing) If anyone knows where to get the soundtrack, pls do send me a mail. Thanks Chet Rating: - The Odyssey This is a beautiful three hour film version of Homer's 'Odyssey'. The film captures the essence of Odysseus's adventures and misadventures following the end of the Trojan War. I enjoyed watching it with my four and a half year old grandson who loved every moment of it. We have watched the film several times, discussed it and have now begun to read the book. Rating: - GREAT MOVIE. HORRIBLE TRANSFER! RELEASE IN A WIDE SCREEN FORMAT AND I WILL GIVE IT 5 STARS. IT IS A GREAT MOVIE BUT YOU LOSE SO MUCH WITH A FULL SCREEN VERSION. Rating: - A Big Disappointment I teach Homer's "The Odyssey" to high school students, and I also teach at Rutgers University in the Modern Greek Studies Program. Using this movie as a teaching aid to the reading of Homer's epic story is frustrating. There are countless errors between the epic and the movie. Apparently, those that worked on the script of this film thought they could improve upon an epic piece of literature that has stood the test of time for 3000 years. What arrogance! I used this film to have discussions with ... Read More Rating: - Good movie - Unavailable This was an EXCELLENT movie, enjoyed it tremendously. But now that I try to find the DVD, nobody has it for less than some rediculous Marketplace price of $50 or more (one seller has it for $175!). Amazon had it for $12.99 but that was before I realized it was going to be so hard to find, should've bought it when I had the chance... Is this movie out of print? If so, WHY??? -kd5- see more Browse for similar items by category: Action & Adventure - Genres - VHS - Video - General AAS Drama - Genres - VHS - Video - General AAS Kids & Family - Genres - VHS - Video - 10-12 Years Military & War - Genres - VHS - Video - Action & Combat Musicals & Performing Arts - Genres - VHS - Video - Ballet & Dance
