From award-winning Italian director Uberto Pasolini comes a fresh re-telling of Homer’s classic epic poem The Odyssey starring Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, and Charlie Plummer.
Bruised and battle-scarred from a 20-year absence wherein he fought in The Trojan War and spent years at sea trying to get home, Greek hero Odysseus (Fiennes) washes up on the shores of his native Ithaca, a shadow of his former, mighty self. While it is satisfying to feel the ground of his homeland beneath his feet once again, all is not well in his kingdom: His wife, Penelope (Binoche), is beset by suitors who have been trying for years to undermine her resolve to wait for her husband’s return and who threaten the life of her son, Telemachus, lest he vie for his right to sit on the throne of his father. So that he may win back control of his realm, the wily Odysseus must use his skills as a fearless warrior and his indomitable cunning to rid Ithaca of all who fail to herald the return of its long lost king.
Filmed on location in Greece, The Return is a much-needed modern update to one of the greatest stories from ancient times!
