series From the Third Eye: Evergreen Review on Film
Directed by Mary Ellen Bute | 1966
With Martin J. Kelley, Jane Reilly, Peter Haskell
Abstract animation pioneer Mary Ellen Bute found an appropriately inventive visual analog for James Joyce’s dense, supposedly unfilmable novel in this thrillingly imaginative live action treatment, which sets excerpts from the writer’s punning, free-associative linguistic creation to fantastical dream imagery. The result is a bold experiment in literary adaptation that opens up new ways of interpreting Joyce’s work.
