Consider This from NPR · Nolan's 'The Odyssey': a tale of a hero and trickster retold for modern times · 19 Jul 2026 podcast

I mean the way I would sort of best answer that I think is to say that if I've done my job right when I'm fully immersed on a film or on a project, I leave that film with unanswered questions. matched

I leave it with themes that we haven't been able to fully address. matched

And that will often inform my creative process on the next film. matched

But that makes it sound a bit more conscious than it is, a bit more self-conscious than it is. matched

Certainly, I got to the end of making The Odyssey. matched

I saw some very strong connections with Oppenheimer. matched

And that made sense to me because, you know, you never fully exercise it with a film, I don't think. matched

I think you're always slightly carrying it into the next thing. matched

Very much. matched

And it was, for me, also very interesting to take on mythology. matched

As you unpack it and what Homer has written, what's there, you start to realize that there are these massive sort of real-world stakes. matched

You know, what were the consequences of the Trojan War, for example? matched

Suddenly everything takes on this much weightier, much more sort of real-world quality that starts to really engage you from a modern perspective and relate to other versions of those kind of stories. matched

No, I mean, the answer to how I view my work is, you know, these films are like my children. matched

I mean, you have a relationship with each that's absolute and sort of sacrosanct. matched

I really try and do one thing at a time and really figure out how I want to spend the next few years of my life and just dive into that. matched

So that at the end of the day, yeah, it would literally be like saying, you know, what's my favorite child? matched

And I got four kids and... matched

It's certainly not a question I would ever even contemplate. matched

Certainly not on the radio. matched
