Based on James Joyce's 1922 masterpiece, Leopold Bloom is Joyce's Jewish protagonist. Wandering the Dublin streets, he thinks about his dead son, his cuckolding wife, Molly, and his own impotence. During his travels he encounters a one-eyed man who taunts him with anti-Semitic remarks and a young student and poet, Stephen Dedalus. He and Dedalus go to a brothel where Bloom is beset by frightening fantasies. Afterwards the two men sit up all night talking at Bloom's house. When Dedalus leaves, Molly lies awake in bed thinking about her present and past loves, and the possibility of an affair with Dedalus... - Director:
