The Return
The Return
Homer’s classic poem Odysseus gets a retelling that begins from the tale end of the journey, as the King (played by Ralph Fiennes) finally washes ashore in Ithaca after his epic 20 year quest — only to be confused with a beggar as his wife (Juliette Binoche) and son (Charlie Plummer) are held captive by those vying for his throne. It’s a fresh take on the Greek myth that has influenced so many of the stories told throughout time, and it builds to a mighty crescendo.
