Product: Nora [VHS] (2000)
Rating: 4.0
gorgeous, interesting film
Beautifully filmed, this movie brought to mind "Henry and June," another story about writers and their "muses." This film also did not shy away from sexual content, which simply added fuel to the fire. However, it seemed a bit disjointed in places (very much an arthouse film), and I wondered what might have ended up on the cutting room floor. The main gist of the story did shine through: the story of James Joyce and the woman who inspired and loved him, Nora Barnacle. Great acting by all the actors and lush cinematography. But it made me wonder about James Joyce and Nora, and what was their true story?
