Description:
From the day he picked her up on a Dublin street, James Joyce (Ewan McGregor) was passionately in love with Nora Barnacle (Susan Lynch). Her sexual forwardness excited him, then rapidly fed into his compulsive jealousy. Nora follows these famous literary lovers as they flee Dublin for Italy, hoping to find freedom from claustrophobic Irish city life. Joyce's erratic emotions continue to make life difficult, but they find some happiness and have two children. Then, when Joyce returns to Dublin to open a movie theater, the lies of his former friends send him into a jealous fury--which is finally resolved by an erotic correspondence treasured by scholars and fans of Joyce's novels. Nora depicts all sides of Joyce and Nora, not shying away from the writer's difficult personality or from the often torrid language of their letters. A well-rounded biographical film. --Bret Fetzer
