The Odyssey reviewed + Sam Neill on his favourite film + Dao and a MIFF preview
15/07/2026 | 39 mins.
Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey arrives amid enormous anticipation. Jason considers whether the mythic epic can live up to the hype.
A tribute to Sam Neill, who died this week, as we revisit a beautiful highlight from our archives: Neill reflecting on his favourite film - a clue, it was directed by Alfred Hitchcock.
We speak with filmmaker Alain Gomis ahead of the Melbourne International Film Festival about Dao, his visually striking exploration of memory, history and identity; and MIFF Senior programmer Kate Jinx is in for a preview of this year's festival.
