Show Notes

In the sixth episode of this season, I examine two Italian cinema adaptations of Homer's Iliad: 1911's "The Fall of Troy" (La Caduta di Troia) and 1962's "The Fury of Achilles" (L'ira di Achille). Are the Italians more interested in scale or storytelling? Listen and find out. The conversation on how an Italian treatment on this epic compares with an American one will continue in the season finale.
