James Joyce's Women

Directed by Michael Pearce.
With Fionnula Flanagan, Chris O'Neill, Tony Lyons.
Ireland, 1985, color, 88 min.

Few actors have captured the eloquence, beauty and eroticism of James Joyce's language better than Fionnula Flanagan. And nowhere is this more evident than in James Joyce's Women, a film version of the acclaimed play, which Flanagan herself wrote and produced. Her tour-de-force performance as, among others, Nora Barnacle (Joyce's wife), Sylvia Beach (the woman who first published Ulysses) and, of course, Molly Bloom has set the benchmark for interpreting Joyceóand has yet to be bettered. Co-starring Chris O'Neill as Joyce and Tony Lyons as Leopold Bloom. Produced by Flanagan with her husband Garrett O'Conner.
