Short filmTranscript
00:01The character of Odysseus has always resonated with me.
00:04This is a distillation of the last chapters of the Odyssey.
00:08I'm a return of Odysseus to Ithaca.
00:10Odysseus sailed to Troy years ago.
00:13All year, suitors have been turning up,
00:15waiting for his widow to choose a new husband to be king.
00:18Juliet Binash is playing Penelope, his wife, who's waited for him.
00:21Odysseus is dead.
00:23Not to me.
00:24This is a man who's a fighter,
00:26but Homer makes him the smart guy.
00:28And quite quickly, he is scheming.
00:31Our king Odysseus, the smartest of all the heroes.
00:34I really enjoyed the adventure.
00:36And it's such a big, epic, important story.
00:39It's everything you want.
00:41Homer is full of extraordinary descriptions of violence.
00:47But Homer's powerful because he's symbolic.
00:50The journey to Ithaca is inside you.
00:52It's a journey of self-realization to become who you need to be.
00:58COMING SOON
