Product Description

Product Description

Dublin: June 16th, 1904. Stephen Daedalus, a poet, embarks on a day of wandering about the city during which he finds friendship and a father figure in Leopold Bloom, a middle-aged Jew. Meanwhile, Bloom’s day, illuminated by a funeral and an evening of drinking and revelry that stirs paternal feelings towards Stephen, ends with a rapprochement with Molly, his cuckolding wife.

5.0 out of 5 starsA Modern Reading of Ulysses
By Amazon Customer on 17 Jan. 2008
Format: DVD
Literary anoraks usually have difficulty in coping with movie adapations of their favourite books, failing to understand that their mental view of the original will not survive the change of medium and the consequent creation of a new art form. A book as iconic as Joyce's Ulysses will never be faithfully 'reproduced' on screen to the satisfaction of such critics.

In fact Joseph Strick's 1967 film not only sees the successful transition of Joyce's book into a new medium (within the 'new wave' tradition popular with film makers at the time) but has also created a work that remains highly relevant to the 21st century viewer. Strick actually filmed in black and white and in 'modern dress' ( for the time) for budgetary rather than aesthetic reasons.

Although set a century ago in 1904 the book introduced a whole plethora of very modern sounding topics -sexual and personal relationships, consumerism, nationalism, religious and racial intolerance, advertising and media, immigration, popular music and the position of the artist in society (among others!). Strick's film was fortunately made at a time in the Sixties when the ground norms of society were being widely questioned and the film picks up some of this buzz. The happy result - helped greatly by the minimalist 'modern' dress and settings - is a film that seems to consist of up -to-date real people with real lives and something relevant to say to a present day audience about their own lives.

Sean Walsh's more recent adaptation of Ulysses ('Bloom', made in 2004)on the other hand, while beautifully fimed and acted, is played as a period drama that aims to reproduce the original environment of Joyce's book as closely as possible. As a result, to me anyway , the latter film fails to touch any nerve other than as a pleasant enough adaptation but one that is about as relevant to our present day lives as an adaptation of Jane Austen.

5.0 out of 5 starsFine adaptation of James Joyce masterpiece
By Amazon Customer TOP 1000 REVIEWER on 8 Jun. 2007
Format: DVD
For me James Joyce 1924 novel Ulysses comes under the heading of "some kind of masterpiece I suppose" depicting as it does a day in Dublin in 1904, the year in which Joyce became a voluntary exile from Ireland never to return, but writing about Ireland for the rest of his life.

The once experimental "stream of consciousness" style of internal monologue is well captured in this 1967 film by voice over, and the adaptation clearly focuses on the outstanding events in the novel, events I clearly remember thirty years after reading it (it is that kind of novel).

There is no real plot, just two men walking about Dublin in June 1904 and finally meeting in the evening. Stephen Dedalus (fictional persona of James Joyce first met in his semi autobiographical novel "Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man") a young schoolteacher, Leopold Bloom (Milo O'Shea) is on the margins of society as a jew and is married to a famous singer Molly Bloom (Barbara Jefford) who is openly adulterous adding to Bloom's isolation.

The novel ends with Molly Blooms famous long monologue which Barbara Jefford handles superbly.

This is a great adaptation of Joyce's controversial novel, but will mainly appeal to those familiar with the book.

4.0 out of 5 starsA classic film that stands up in its own right
By A. D. Hale on 19 Jan. 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I saw this film in the cinema when it first came out in 1967, and was impressed then. I'd not seen it since till I bought this DVD recently, but I find it even better than I remember. No film of less than 20 hours length could do full justice to the complex James Joyce novel this is based on. But for me the film stands in its own right, whilst still capturing the essence of the novel. However I do know the novel well - if you don't you might wonder what on earth is going on. Great acting from Milo O'Shea and T.P. McKenna and the medium of black and white is exactly right for subject. Its a pity there are no subtitles available on the DVD..

3.0 out of 5 starsA toe in the water
By Mr. P. Bulmer on 12 Mar. 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
If ever a book was unfilmable, this is it.
However, if you want to get a feel for the atmosphere of Dublin in Joyce's time, then this is a decent place to start. The characters are pretty well cast, especially Milo O'Shea as Bloom, and there are some of the most relevant epithets used in the dialogue. Molly's soliloquay is particularly good. The problem of course is a standard length movie cannot hope to cover the enormous range of emotion, culture, politics, humour, history, and plot (such that it could be said Ulysses actually has a plot) as does the great book itself.
So, it's not brilliant by any means, but it's definitely a heroic attempt, and it does make you want to read the book again - and again - to fill in all those gaps.

4.0 out of 5 starsUlysses, film for the discerning
By Mr R. Stedall-Humphryes on 1 Jan. 2014
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
As good as Joseph Strick’s direction was, this film is in my opinion, too short. There should be a modern remake of Joyce’s masterpiece Ulysses, incorporating more of the story than in this relatively short, black and white 1967, 120 minute version. Having said that, this film is outstanding, well crafted and acted, especially by Barbara Jefford who plays, Molly Bloom. Her rendering of Molly’s soliloquy is nothing short of brilliant. No wonder Jefford was nominated for a British Academy Award.

4.0 out of 5 starsA fine film
By MallingFox on 15 July 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
This is a beautiful film, quite superbly photographed and wonderfully acted. It captures very well the simplest ie purely narrative dimension of Joyce's miraculous novel, but the two are best approached as two quite separate artistic endeavours. O'Shea's performance as Bloom is a delight throughout.

Infinitely better than the much later movie "Bloom".
