Witness Ralph Fiennes as a battle-scarred Odysseus in The Return, a powerful new adaptation of Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey. After two decades lost following the Trojan War, Odysseus finally returns to his homeland of Ithaca, only to find his kingdom in ruins. His faithful wife, Penelope (Juliette Binoche), is besieged by a throng of arrogant suitors vying for her hand and the throne, while his son, Telemachus (Charlie Plummer), faces deadly threats.
Gone is the legendary hero of Greek myth. This Odysseus, weathered and weary from his arduous journey across the wine-dark sea, must confront the ghosts of his past and rediscover the strength of the warrior within to reclaim his family, his kingdom, and his rightful place as King of Ithaca.
Directed by Uberto Pasolini (Still Life, Nowhere Special) and written by Pasolini, John Collee, and Edward Bond, The Return promises a visceral and emotional journey into the heart of one of the most enduring stories in Greek literature.
