It's loosely based on Homer's The Odyssey. If I hadn't been forced to read that at some point in my edjumacation, I never would have connected the dots. Got about 1/3 of the way through the movie before I had the AHA! moment.

All in all, it's a movie I watched once, and that was enough. I don't like Gillian Welch. But I love Ralph Stanley.

ETA: the cyclops was what cracked me up.
ETA2: jinx!
