After 20 years, Odysseus finally returns to Ithaca, where he discovers that his wife is being held captive by rival suitors for the kingdom, and his son is facing death. To reclaim his family and all that he has lost, Odysseus must rediscover his strength. Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche have appeared together in a film for the third time. They previously worked together in Wuthering Heights (1992) and The English Patient (1996). Penelope: How Men Find Their Way to War, But Never Get Home Odysseus: For Some, War Comes Home The viewer is drawn into the multifaceted pain and suffering of Penelope and Odysseus as Odysseus returns home to Ithaca, this treatise systematically explores the challenges faced by many soldiers. returning from active duty, including PTSD and other mental health issues, re-integrating into their former lives with family and society, the flashbacks of the pain they endured and caused, and the irreversible internal changes that result. The return is driven by a great cast of actors, allowing the viewer to experience this rollercoaster ride as the two main characters travel to significant heights, the latter thanks to the unique and special perseverance of Penelope and Odysseus during this difficult time in their lives. and without each other’s support. In fact, both are quite distant for much of the build-up, which only makes the catharsis in the most intense, thriller-like later part of an otherwise slower-burning film even more potent. Fiennes brings a unique style of suffering depiction to this work — a great extension of his wonderful skills in The Spider and The End of the Affair, alongside pain and anguish. Binoche is the perfect choice for Penelope, as the viewer can be tricked into feeling and hoping that the two will meet again, just as they were close throughout The English Patient, and Pasolini takes advantage of this to heighten the tension in this work for those who have vivid memories of The English Patient. This is a great and very relevant work that must be experienced!
