Join us for this special screening of THE RETURN, starring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche, directed by Uberto Pasolini, followed by a discussion with Fiennes and Pasolini, from the British Musuem.

They are joined by the British Museum’s Keeper of Greece and Rome, Tom Harrison, and Curator: Reception of the Ancient Mediterranean, Vicky Donnellan, to discuss this major new film.

It tells the story of the mythical Greek hero, Odysseus (Fiennes) who, after 20 years away, washes up on the shores of Ithaca, haggard and unrecognisable. The king has returned from the Trojan War, but much has changed in his kingdom. His beloved wife Penelope (Binoche) is a prisoner in her own home, hounded by suitors vying to be king and planning the death of Telemachus, the son he never knew. Shattered by his experience of war, Odysseus must rediscover his strength in order to win back all that he has lost.
