Late to the fun but it FINALLY came to my town- right after Crouching Tiger etc. and Chocolat- this is the first time in 20 years I have seen three current movies in one month- and not one a kiddie flik!
I loved the movie, took it as a romp and although there were a few gaps it was great fun. I agree with rich r that Down to the River and Leave Nobody but the Baby were definitely either enhanced for the film or totally different recordings. I have had the soundtrack for a few months and really enjoyed hearing the songs in context.
I remember little about the Odyssey but really had fun picking out the sirens, the Lotus Eaters getting baptized, the Cyclops, and all. I'll check out those web pages above to learn more.
