Ralph Fiennes Ancient Greek Action Epic ‘The Return’ Scores Strong First Reviews

Ralph Fiennes didn’t just get ripped for The Return, he also delivered one hell of a performance. Directed by Uberto Pasolini, The Return is a retelling of Homer’s classic poem The Odyssey. Fiennes stars as an older Odysseus, who washes up on the shores of Ithaca after a 20-year journey. While he was away, his kingdom drastically changed, and his wife Penelope (Juliette Binoche) began attracting suitors looking to become the next king. But Penelope never moved on, and Odysseus has to prove his identity to reclaim his kingdom.
