Can you talk about preparing for and then shooting that scene?
We both love the way it was written.
I think she’s probably talking to him.
After 20 years away, a weary warrior returns to his homeland of Ithaca, only to find his kingdom in disarray and his wife besieged by suitors. This retelling of the classic myth explores the hero’s journey to reclaim his home, confront the changes in his absence, and restore order amidst the upheaval. Themes of loyalty, perseverance, and the impact of time shape this powerful reimagining of Homer’s “Odyssey."
In the moment that they are in the same space, they can’t identify themselves.
It was a great piece of writing, I think.
Andas the scene is unraveling, then it becomes something else, and its almost anger.
What was it to be in this war?
It was quite amazing.
AndI was so happy that it was not too wordy, having to explain everything emotionally.
It allowed us to be bigger emotionally and just put in the concentration those words to each other.
And I have to say, the fire next to me was very hot.
The Returnis now in theaters.
