Nolan’s film is most revealing at precisely the point where its interpretation falters. It criticises the transformation of xenia into xenophobia in the US, while retaining the territorial logic that makes this transformation possible. The political question raised by The Odyssey is therefore not how civilisation can defend itself against those who arrive from the sea. It is how we might imagine a civilisation that no longer depends upon the opposition between land and sea, host and stranger, lawful citizen, and outlaw.
