Dear Reader, Season 3 Episode 06: Italian Retrospective

June 06, 2025

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.

This is considered a problem play…in more ways than one! How well does the bard balance romance with political intrigue? Listen and find out!
