Ulysses

Leopold Bloom (Milo O'Shea) -- a Jewish man on an odyssey through the turn-of-the-century streets of Dublin -- is on an adventure that parallels the trials of Greek hero Ulysses on his epic voyage home. Along the way, Bloom befriends the young poet Stephen Dedalus (Maurice Roëves) and must deal with the infidelities of his wife (Barbara Jefford). This screen adaptation of James Joyce's groundbreaking 1922 novel received an Oscar nomination.
