The shocking novel excites the screen! There is only one!

1967132 min5.9 / 10

A cerebral, digressive portrait of two Dublin men's interconnected day, grounded in literary modernism and the search for meaning and connection.

Dublin; June 16, 1904. Stephen Dedalus, who fancies himself as a poet, embarks on a day of wandering about the city during which he finds friendship and a father figure in Leopold Bloom, a middle-aged Jew. Meanwhile, Bloom's day, illuminated by a funeral and an evening of drinking and revelry that stirs paternal feelings toward Stephen, ends with a rapprochement with Molly, his earthy wife.
