Joseph Strick - Ulysses (1967)

Dublin, June 16th, 1904. Stephen Dedalus, amateur poet and catholic meets on a tipical Irish day Leopold Bloom, a middle-aged Jewish man. Bloom is like his lost father. Bloom'll spend the day in a funeral, visit some pubs and finish in Bella Cohen's brothel. His wife's waiting for him to come back in the bed, as Penelope did in Ithaca with Ulysses.





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 journet home. Molly is a 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 flashbacks, dream episodes, sounds and visual montages translate freely into the language of cinema.
