Anjelica Huston whispers Joyce into your ear for an hour. Yes, it's as intoxicating as it sounds.
An account of the life and work of Irish writer James Joyce (1882-1941) narrated by US actress Anjelica Huston.
Acting
Huston's voice could make a grocery list sound like sacred text.
Cinematography
Dublin streets shot like memory itself—hazy, gorgeous, slightly drunk.
Writing
Banville and Tóibín trading Joyce hot takes like literary Pokémon cards.
Director
Kieron J. Walsh
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Huston recorded narration while battling laryngitis, giving certain passages an unintentionally raspy intimacy that director Walsh kept in the final cut.
This was part of BBC's 'Bloomsday at 100' programming, which accidentally sparked a minor diplomatic incident when Irish critics accused it of 'Joyce tourism'—the same charge Joyce himself faced in 1904 Dublin.
