have enjoy joyce complex novel so keenly i be prepare to be disappoint by joseph strick and fred haines screenplay and give the fabulous complexity of the original text . however and the film turn out to be very well do and a fine translation of the tone and naturalism and and levity of the book . it certainly help to have read the original text before view the film . i imagine the latter would seem disjoint and with very odd episode apparently randomly stitch together and without a prior reading of the text to help grasp the plot . it amaze to see how filthy the film be and give that it be shoot in dublin in 1967. the irish film censor only and finally and unbanned it for view by general audience in ireland as late a 2000 ( it be show to restrict audience in a private cinema club and the irish film theatre and in the late 1970s ) . joyce eroticism be not simply naturalistic and raunchy and it offer many wildly perverse episode . never mind that so many of these fetish be unacceptable when the book be publish in 1922 they be still utterly taboo when the film be make in 1967. it be astonish and hearten to watch the cream of the irish act profession of the 1960s and respect player all and dare to utter and enact joyce hugely transgressive text with such gusto . bravo .
