FILMS:
There have been several good Ulysses films, but they can never do more than present a few impressions of this work of vast scope.
Films worth watching:
Ulysses directed by Joseph Strick in 1967- great cast
James Joyce's Ulysses - Semi-documentary of 1987 shown today
Bloom Directed by Sean Walsh in 2003- Considered more accessible, less inclusive than 1967 film
James Joyce's Ulysses - BBC DOCUMENTARY OF 2022 - Well-done, but containing segments offensive to some.
These are all available on YouTube

She didn't like the book at first, but it seems to have grown on her:
