James Joyce's "Ulysses" has been widely declared as both one of the most brilliant, and most difficult, books in the history of literature. This brave attempt at visualizing the book comes courtesy of director Sean Walsh, and stars Stephen Rea (THE CRYING GAME) as Leopold Bloom, Angeline Ball (THE COMMITMENTS) as Molly Bloom, and Hugh O'Connor (MY LEFT FOOT) as Stephen Dedalus. The story begins on June 16th, 1904, with Leopold setting out on a tale which runs the full gamut of human emotions. The actors give convincing performances throughout, and the tale may add a degree of coherence to those struggling with the novel. [More]

only succeeds in simplifying Ulysses, not extracting meaning or emotion from it

Watchable, if not particularly cinematic, and faithful without actually evoking the uniquely literary qualities that have seduced generations of readers.
