Dublin International Film Festival returns from February 20 – March 2, 2025, bringing film lovers together for 11 days of incredible cinema. To celebrate, we’re giving you the chance to attend the festival's biggest event—the Opening Night Gala screening of The Return, starring Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche.
About the Film:
It has been more than 20 years since Odysseus (Ralph Fiennes) left his kingdom to fight in the Trojan War and, in all that time, his wife and queen Penelope (Juliette Binoche) has waited. Uberto Pasolini's slow-burn adaptation of Homer's second epic is grounded in a classical style that captures the steeliness of its Greek source. Focus is shifted away from mythological conflicts onto more human and psychological concerns. Fiennes and Binoche are terrific as the heroes of this ancient drama. On the shores of Ithaca, gazes are locked tight, and every breath and word is measured, as the man of many turns, returns.
