In Boston, those of a more literary kink can see Stephen Daedalus search for a father figure at the opening night of the Boston Irish Film Festival. At 7:30 p.m. at the Brattle, there's a special screening of Bloom, a new film version of the unfilmable Ulysses.
Writer/director Sean Walsh proves the critics wrong with this taut, poetic and surprisingly accessible adaptation of James Joyces' Ulysses. Long deemed unfilmable, the book follows the perambulations of Leopold Bloom about Dublin City on June 16th, 1904. Transcribing Joyce's rich melodic prose into honey-toned hallucinogenic visuals, Walsh pulls back the mundane affairs of everyday life to capture the epic mythology of human nature. Stephen Rea plays Bloom with a quiet tragedy and Angeline Ball is a revelation as his carnal wife Molly. Featuring Hugh O'Connor as Stephen Dedalus and Eoin McCarthy as Blazes Boylan.
UPDATE: Someone delisted the cinetrix from his or her Kinja account over this post. Prude, Brit, or Yankee fan? The world may never know.
