In this Oscar-nominated adaptation of James Joyce's novel, 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).
