While movie theaters are expected to be filled with epic and floods of spectators during the summer of 2026 thanks to the version ofOdyssey directed by Christopher Nolan, the public can calm their impatience by going to see The Return of Ulysses, an intimate portrait of the return to Ithaca of the Homeric hero, who, despite the film's Spanish title, is called Odysseus in the film, following the Greek tradition. Director Uberto Pasolini, best known for producing the British comedy The Full Monty, pulls a promising cinephile lure out of his sleeve: to see again Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche starring in a romantic drama three decades after Wuthering Heights (1992) and The English patient (1997). In the film, Penelope has been waiting for Odysseus for 20 years and, despite remaining faithful to her husband, a growing resentment and the decline of Ithaca have tarnished the queen's marital devotion.
