Walsh's BLOOM by Joyce

Joyce's Ulysses attempts to translate the mythic into daily life: tea, toast, toilet. His style is Rabelisian: scatological and linguastic. One wants wit and energy in tone. This film is stuck with a tepid score.

Stephen Rhea as Leopold sparkles in the red light surrealism scenes. Angeline Ball as Molly is delicious. I wish I could say Sean Wlash was self-pleasurnig here but one suspects he dozes.
