Product: Nora [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 4.0
Earthy and Sensual
When I first read the reviews on this movie, I planned to skip it but than I read Flicjunkies review and decided to rent it. I am glad I did. This movie kinda grows on you in an artsy way. It is about the relationship between James Joyce and his partner Nora. The thing I liked most was the earthiness Nora possesses. She is not so much beauty but just this real creative seductiveness that comes across in her personality. The way she speaks her mind and feels her emotions. The movie focuses more on Nora and James rather than on James works. There are some readings but the tumultous ups and downs of James and his jealousies and imaginings having to do with Nora is mainly the body of this work. The singing done by the two actors is just wonderful! I am going to see if I can find the soundtrack for the film and purchase it. The openess of Nora, the singing, and the beautiful stunning views of villas and picturesque images are such a worthwhile journey to take. I am glad I read Flicjunkies review.Lisa Nary
