The Return at The Darwin International Film Festival
The Return
The Return is a 2024 drama directed by Uberto Pasolini, offering a contemporary retelling of Homer's Odyssey. The film stars Ralph Fiennes as Odysseus, who, after two decades away due to the Trojan War, returns to Ithaca. Scarred and unrecognizable, he discovers his wife, Penelope (Juliette Binoche), besieged by suitors pressuring her to remarry and claim his throne. Their son, Telemachus (Charlie Plummer), has lost hope in his father's return and fears for his mother's safety.
This UK-Italian co-production showcases intense performances by Fiennes and Binoche, who reunite on screen after their collaboration in The English Patient. The narrative delves into themes of loyalty, identity, and the enduring human spirit.
Filmed across picturesque locations in Greece and Italy, The Return premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2024, and has garnered praise for its visual storytelling and the compelling chemistry between the lead actors.
