"Ulysses"
1967
Directed by Joseph Strick

Joseph Strick directed this daring stream-of-consciousness adaptation of James Joyce's great novel which follows Leopold Bloom through the streets and brothels of turn-of-the-century Dublin. The film culminates in the torrentially earthy monologue of his wife Molly. 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 the cinema. "Joyce's great novel becomes a movie masterpiece," said Life Magazine.  124 minutes.
