Ulysses | Film

Alan Gilsenan’s Ulysses | Film was specially commissioned by MoLI. It is a personal response to – and cinematic ‘reading’ of – James Joyce’s iconic novel. Fractured and poetic, reverent and irreverent, the film is a ragbag of sorts; a myriad of images and sounds emerging from the infinite wonders of Joyce’s imaginary world.

Structured around the eighteen episodes of the book, the film acts as a distillation of Ulysses, and may be viewed as a series of short films or as one long continuous piece.

How Ulysses feels. Woven together with taste. How sound and image can arise from formlessness...

So glad I saw this. Now, I can die in peace.

Each episode is a beautiful atmospheric vignette amounting to a series of snapshots that further whet the appetite to read and re-read the masterpiece itself.
