I recently had the opportunity to see the Irish-made film version of "Ulysses" called "Bloom" (the film that is to say). I really enjoyed it . . . an immense labor of love by Sean Walsh [sp?] that took about 10 years to come to fruition since its initial inception. Angelina Ball who portrayed Molly Bloom was quite extraordinary. I am certainly glad that we now have a quite acceptable film rendition of this great novel . . . so that people won't be stuck with inferior job that Strick did in the 60's if I have the right decade.
So this message would constitude a hearty plug for "Bloom" . . . the music was also quite superior . . . plus all the settings. . . a really great job . . . I believe Walsh started with a 6-hour script which he had to wittle down to around 2 hours . . . a tough job I'm sure . . . Walsh did have a missionary zeal to amend the current "unread" nature (for many just "unreadable") of this classic.
TourALourA to Everyone!
