Episode Details

Samantha Morton is having a cinematic comeback in Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey,” where she commands the screen as the powerful and enigmatic Circe — a role she brought to life by drawing from her family’s military history and personal experiences with trauma. This blockbuster marks a rare return to Hollywood’s biggest stage for the acclaimed actress, who’s long battled limited opportunities for women her age. Morton raved about Nolan’s supportive direction, calling the experience a “rebirth,” while also praising the bold, immersive filmmaking process — even with those massive 300-pound IMAX cameras. Her performance is already stirring awards talk, but for Morton, the real reward is the joy of acting — and the chance to be seen, finally, on her own terms.
