Uberto Pasolini's new interpretation of Homer’s Odyssey offers a fresh perspective on the classic tale. The film distinguishes itself through its setting in Corfu, which stands in for Ithaca, and its cast. Ralph Fiennes portrays Odysseus as weary and burdened by guilt after his 20-year absence. Juliette Binoche delivers a compelling performance as Penelope. Binoche's portrayal is particularly striking, capturing Penelope's complex emotions upon recognizing her long-lost husband. The film is now playing in UK and Irish cinemas.
