James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 1882 – 13 January 1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominently the stream of consciousness technique he perfected. Other major works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His complete oeuvre includes three books of poetry, a play, occasional journalism, and his published letters.
Joyce was born to a middle class family in Dublin, where he excelled as a student at the Jesuit schools Clongowes and Belvedere, then at University College Dublin. In his early twenties he emigrated permanently to continental Europe, living in Trieste, Paris and Zurich. Though most of his adult life was spent abroad, Joyce's fictional universe does not extend beyond Dublin, and is populated largely by characters who closely resemble family members, enemies and friends from his time there; Ulysses in particular is set with precision in the streets and alleyways of the city. Shortly after the publication of Ulysses he elucidated this preoccupation somewhat, saying, "For myself, I always write about Dublin, because if I can get to the heart of Dublin I can get to the heart of all the cities of the world. In the particular is contained the universal."

One of the most legendary directors of our time takes you on an extraordinary adventure.
Hugo Cabret: I'd imagine the whole world was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always come with the exact amount they need. So I figured, if the entire world was one big machine, I couldn't be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason, too.
Isabelle: This might be an adventure, and I've never had one before - outside of books, at least.
Isabelle: We could get into trouble.::Hugo Cabret: That's how you know it's an adventure.
Mama Jeanne: Georges, you've tried to forget the past for so long, but it has caused you nothing but unhappiness. Maybe it's time you tried to remember.
Lisette: Don't forget to smile.::Station Inspector: Which one? I've mastered three!
Georges Méliès: If you've ever wondered where your dreams come from, you look around... this is where they're made.
Isabelle: [watching A Trip to the Moon] It's in color!::Mama Jeanne: Of course it is, we tinted them. We painted them by hand, frame by frame.
Hugo Cabret: I'm sorry, it's broken.::Georges Méliès: No it's not. It worked perfectly!
Isabelle: I think we should be very... clandestine!::Hugo Cabret: [not knowing what "clandestine" means] Um, okay...
Station Inspector: [to his dog while in the bath] If he is deceased, then who has been winding the clocks?::[cut to reveal that the Inspector and the dog are in the bath together]
James Joyce: This is never an eight iron. It's a fucking FIVE! [to shop girl] Do you think I'm fecking blind? Giving me a five, and I the cock of the land! You are no more than nothing. And give us a pencil as well... and a couple of those tees... and a Topic. No, not a Milky Way you arse, a Topic! All fecund in its nuttiness.
Plot
In 1904, in Dublin, James Joyce chats up Nora Barnacle, a hotel maid recently come from Galway. She enchants him with her frank, direct and uninhibited manner, and before long, he's convinced her to come with him to Trieste, where he has a job with Berlitz. Over time, Nora pulls him through phobias, tolerates his drinking, takes in his brother Stan, and bests Joyce at 'the writin' game' to bring him back to Italy from Dublin where he's gone to open a cinema. But his sexual jealousy threatens the relationship and sends her back to Galway with the children. Is there any way to tame Jim's green-eyed monster? And, will the lad ever get his stories published?

Plot
In this tribute to James Joyce, Fionnula Flanagan gives a tour-de-force performance as a half-dozen or so women in Joyce's real and fictional worlds. When she portrays his wife Nora remembering their time together, Flanagan captures the era and the author in lyrical detail. As Sylvia Beach, the woman who first published Ulysses, new dimensions concerning the importance of Nora in Joyce's literary visions of women emerge, and when Flanagan interprets Joyce characters like Molly Bloom or a washerwoman from Finnegan's Wake, the beauty of Joyce's language shines through the melodious words.
