Additional Information
An Erotic Masterpiece.
James Joyce's Women is a 1985 British/Irish period drama film produced by and starring Fionnula Flanagan as writer James Joyce's wife Nora as well as some of the real women in his life and fictional women from the writer's novels.[1]
It is a film based on Fionnula Flanagan's 1977 play, James Joyce's Women.
As a young actress Flanagan had a role in the 1967 film Ulysses.
It was filmed in 1983 but released in the US in 1985.
In this tribute to James Joyce, Fionnula Flanagan gives a tour-de-force performance as a half-dozen or so women in Joyce's real and fictional worlds. When she portrays his wife Nora remembering their time together, Flanagan captures the era and the author in lyrical detail. As Sylvia Beach, the woman who first published {-Ulysses}, new dimensions concerning the importance of Nora in Joyce's literary visions of women emerge, and when Flanagan interprets Joyce characters like Molly Bloom or a washerwoman from {-Finnegan's Wake}, the beauty of Joyce's language shines through the melodious words. With an excellent supporting cast and the fine-tuning that came from presenting this tribute on stage, the film should warm the hearts of literary buffs and Joyce fans alike.
