Plot
After 20 years away, Odysseus decides to return
The king has finally returned home, but much has changed in his kingdom since he left to fight in the Trojan War. Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche have teamed up in a film for the third time.
They previously collaborated on The English Patient and Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights
This treatise, focused on immersing the viewer in the multi-faceted pain and suffering of Penelope and Odysseus as Odysseus returns to Ithaca, seemed to systematically explore the challenges many soldiers face when returning from active duty, including post-traumatic stress disorder and other mental health issues, reintegrating back into their former lives with family and society, and memories of past and past pain, and the internal change that results, which is irreversible. “The Return” relies on excellent casting to allow the viewer to experience the rollercoaster ride that two key characters ride to great heights, the latter thanks to the exceptional and singular resilience of both Penelope and Odysseus at this difficult point in their lives, and without the support of each other.
In fact, the two are kept separate for much of the film, which only makes the catharsis more intense in the most intense, thriller-like later part of an otherwise slower film
Fiennes brings his own unique style of portraying suffering to this work, a great extension of his magnificent skill set from his neighboring portrayals of pain and anguish in Spider and The End of the Affair. Binoche is the perfect choice for Penelope because the viewer can be tricked into feeling and hoping that these two will reconnect in a similar way that they were close throughout The English Patient, and Pasolini uses this to build additional tension in this work for those whose memory of The English Patient is still alive.
This is a wonderful and very important work that needs to be experienced!
