Interview: Writer/director Uberto Pasolini and actor James Norton on the heartbreaking ‘Nowhere Special
The story is as follows.
After 20 years away, Odysseus (Fiennes) washes up on the shores of Ithaca, haggard & unrecognizable. The King has returned from the Trojan War, but much has changed in his kingdom. His wife Penelope (Binoche) is a prisoner in her own home, hounded by suitors vying to be king. Their son Telemachus faces death at the hands of these suitors, who see him as merely an obstacle to their pursuit of the kingdom. Odysseus has also changed—scarred by his experience of the war, he is no longer the mighty warrior from years past— but he must rediscover his strength in order to win back all he has lost.
New on a UK release as we get it but here’s that trailer.
