[DVD Details]
 
 
  • Adapted from the brilliant novel by James Joyce, "Ulysses" portrays a stream-of-consciousness day in the life of Leopold Bloom, Molly Bloom, and Stephen Dedalus (the hero of Joyce's earlier autobiographical novel, "A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man"). Bloom is an ordinary man, a Jew whose odyssey through the streets of turn-of-the-century Dublin leads him through trials that parallel his classic prototype, Ulysses, on his epic journey home. Molly is his voluptuous, delightfully earthy wife whose infidelity is a major burden Bloom must bear. The intimacy of Joyce's language was without precedent in literature, and its flashbacks, dream episodes, sounds and visual montages translate freely into the language of cinema.

    An utterly definitive work.

    It's a disappointment, though watched again now for this rerelease, it doesn't seem as much of a disappointment as all that.

    There is a lot to admire in this curio of a film.

    A flawed enterprise, partly salvaged by the use of genuine Dublin locations and the marvellous performances of the mainly Irish cast.

    It begins and ends with the word “Yes”, and like much of this amiable, affecting and garrulous 1967 film, prompts a similar response from the viewer.

    There’s much to appeal in this miniature odyssey, notably the superb black-and-white location work.
