"Adapted from the brilliant novel by James Joyce, Ulysses portrays a stream-of-consciousness day in the life of Leopold Bloom, Molly Bloom, and Stephen Dedalus (the hero of Joyce's earlier autobiographical novel, A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man). Bloom is an ordinary man, a Jew whose odyssey through the streets of turn-of-the-century Dublin leads him through trials that parallel his classic prototype, Ulysses, on his epic journey home. Molly is his voluptuous, delightfully earthy wife whose infidelity is a major burden Bloom must bear. The intimacy of Joyce's language was without precedent in literature, and its flashbacks, dream episodes, sounds and visual montages translate freely into the language of cinema."@en

"Ulises relata el paso por Dublín de su personaje principal, Leopold Bloom y de Stephen Dedalus. durante un día vulgar, el 16 de junio de 1904. El título alude al héroe de la Odisea de Homero, y existen otros muchos paralelismos, tanto implícitos como explícitos, entre ambas obras (por ejemplo, la correlación entre Bloom y Odiseo; así como la que existe entre Stephen Dedalus y Telémaco)."

"From an Oscar-nominated screenplay, Strick captures the narrative of Joyce's stream-of-consciousness narrative about Leopold Bloom, a Jewish advertising executive and Joyce's more modern reflection of Homer's wandering epic hero. Bloom's journey is sometimes harrowing, sometimes ludicrous, but never epic ... Bloom must cope with his own impotence, and a dose of the demons plaguing the mind of modern man."
"Filmed on location, the film recounts Joyce's odyssey of an ordinary man, Leopold Bloom, as he returns home to his wife, Molly, through the streets and brothels of turn-of-the-century Dublin. Using Joyce's language and a cinematic stream-of-consciousness, the film culminates in Molly's earthy monologue."
"Leopold Bloom, a gentle, imaginative man is cuckolded by his adulterous wife. He encounters Stephen in a state of drunkenness at the local maternity ward. Bloom follows Stephen to "Nighttown", in the infamous red light district, where they are beset by curious phantasms conjured up by their imaginations."
"Watershed novel, considered by many to mark the beginning of 20th century literature. Joyce was the first to use what is now referred to as "stream of consciousness", which blends 3 levels of action - present, memories of the past and fantasies of the future - without obviously distinguishing one from the other."@en
