Ulysses returns home. There are many scars, none of his companions survived the journey. Penelope who waited for him together with his son, resisting with difficulty for the flattery of the occupants, barely recognizes him.
The revenge of man, won, humiliated but always pugnace, towards the Masnada will be very hard. In Penelope the task of drawing the inevitable conclusions on the cruelty of human nature in an inspired monologue.
Ralph Fiennes, a vindictive Odysseus in “Ithaca” (@ Maila Iacovelli and Fabio Zayed).
There are no gods or goddesses in Uberto Pasolini – here in his fourth director film, but with a long experience as a producer (Full Montyfrom 1997) – Only dirty and folded men, women in mourning and resistant.
