Director of The Return Uberto Pasolini Interview

The Return. Bleecker Street.

Uberto Pasolini's talk offers a profound dive into adapting The Odyssey for Bleecker Street’s The Return, stripping away gods and monsters to focus on raw human psychology. Pasolini emphasizes simplicity—dialogue, camera work, and sets—all serving the emotional core of war’s psychological scars. The standout moment? Ralph Fiennes eating Ithaca’s dirt, embodying a soldier’s fraught reunion with home.
