Review of Bloom (2004) by Christine B — 29 Dec 2010
I haven't actually read Ulysses (yet) so I didn't know how much of the movie is faithful to the book but I have to say that this was not what I expected of the classic story! I had no idea it was so bawdy! This adaptation by Sean Walsh was often slow moving and a little hard to follow but certainly interesting and colourful, if not a tad surreal.
Stephen Rea, Angeline Ball and Hugh O'Conor all gave great performances and I loved the scenery (it's Ireland after all), but I will probably have to watch it again and read the book finally to get more out of it.
