Thanks for sharing this. The scene of Circe molding the crew members with her magic was a striking example of the physical experience you describe. It felt like body horror, like a scene from a Cronenberg film. A bridge from Homer’s world to modern horror.
I experienced the movie very much in this same way. As I’ve mentioned elsewhere, I haven’t been that thrilled in a movie theater in many years. I haven’t been in a movie theater with an audience so collectively thrilled in many years.

What a superb review, this has just convinced me to watch this epic!

Yes, indeed. Such an overwhelming experience — in the good sense.
Like when I was 15 and The Matrix came out…!
Yes, the good ol’ days!
