The movie Troy (2004)
Listen now
Description
In this third episode, archaeologists Matthew Lloyd and Josho Brouwers, and ancient historian Roel Konijnendijk, discuss the Brad Pitt vehicle Troy, a 2004-movie directed by Wolfgang Petersen. They talk at length about the film: the choices made in fitting the story within a fairly limited running length; the curious mix of Bronze Age and Archaic/Classical elements for a movie ostensibly set around 1200 BC; why more Sean Bean is the best reason to watch the Director's Cut, and more.
