In Bed with Ulysses
IN BED WITH ULYSSES is a documentary about James Joyce and the writing, publishing and censoring of his masterpiece. ULYSSES is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest and certainly the most controversial novel of the modern era. IN BED WITH ULYSSES is not just for the dedicated Joyce fans but for anyone interested in the fascinating story of an obsessed artist willing to sacrifice family, friends and admirers for the sake of his writing. The film weaves rare archival footage, interviews, and parts of a staged readings of ULYSSES into a fascinating documentary that covers the amazing life and work of Joyce including the famous attempts to ban the book which led to the most important censorship case in American legal history. The readings feature acclaimed actress Kathleen Chalfant (Wit, Angels in America) as Molly Bloom, whose soliloquy is regarded as one the highlights of 20th century literature (excerpted in the documentary).
