Director Christopher Nolan has responded to criticism of his new epic blockbuster "Odyssey," which hit theaters in July. In an interview with Variety, the filmmaker said he is not afraid of negative reviews and considers minor flaws a natural part of any major work of art... reports the website infohub.kz.
According to the 56-year-old director, an excessive pursuit of perfection and technical sterility often kills the emotional component of cinema. Nolan stressed that modern audiences and critics are too caught up in finding errors and logical inconsistencies, forgetting what really matters—the atmosphere and sensory perception of the story.
"A perfect film without a single flaw often turns out to be completely empty. What makes cinema alive are its imperfections and the passion with which it was made," the filmmaker noted.
The lead roles in the adaptation of Homer's epic are played by Matt Damon, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, and Tom Holland. Despite debates over historical accuracy and runtime, "Odyssey" is showing strong results at the global box office.
