The Return, a 2024 film directed by Uberto Pasolini, offers a contemporary retelling of the latter part of Homer's The Odyssey. The narrative follows Odysseus (Ralph Fiennes) as he returns to Ithaca after 20 years, only to find his wife, Penelope (Juliette Binoche), besieged by suitors and his son, Telemachus (Charlie Plummer), in peril.
The film has received acclaim for its powerful performances, particularly Fiennes's portrayal of a battle-worn Odysseus grappling with PTSD. Released in U.S. theaters on December 6, 2024, it is now available for streaming on platforms like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix.
