Juliette Binoche raves about working with Ralph Fiennes again nearly 30 years later: ‘It was very moving’

Juliette Binoche and Ralph Fiennes last appeared together on screen in the 1996 movie “The English Patient” but the French actress said it felt like “no time” had passed when they reunited for their latest movie, “The Return.”

“It was very moving to work with Ralph again,” Binoche, 60, told Page Six at the Bleeker Street and Cinema Society premiere of “The Return” on Tuesday night.

It’s the third time the pair has worked together. They first co-starred in 1992’s “Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights.”

“There was no time [passing],” she continued. “It didn’t feel like we had worked many many years ago. It felt like [the present].”

The duo’s latest film is a retelling of Homer’s “Odyssey,” with Fiennes playing Odysseus, who washes up on the shores of Ithaca after 20 years away fighting in the Trojan War. Binoche plays his beloved wife, Penelope, who has spent the years as a virtual prisoner in her home fending off eager suitors.

Fiennes, 61, told us that his mother first read him the Greek saga when he was “seven or eight” but noted that “I think it changes.”
