We have first look at a new retelling of Odysseus and his story with Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche in THE RETURN movie shown in a Bleecker Street reel which you can see below. After 20 years away, Odysseus (Fiennes) washes up on the shores of Ithaca, haggard and unrecognizable. The King has finally returned home but much has changed in his kingdom since he left to fight in the Trojan  war.His beloved wife Penelope (Binoche) is now a prisoner in her own home, hounded by her many ambitious suitors to choose a new husband, a new king. Their son Telemachus (Charlie Plummer), who has grown up fatherless, is facing death at the hands of the suitors who see him as an obstacle in their relentless pursuit of Penelope and the kingdom. Marwan Kenzari plays Antinous, the lead suitor for the hand of Penelope.  Uberto Pasolino directed the movie.
