Faithful adaptation of James Joyce's autobiographical first novel directed by Joseph Strick. Stephen Dedalus (Boscoe Hogan) is a young man in 1900 Dublin, struggling with the various crises of youth, lack of money and burning sexuality. Frustrated by conventional women, he seeks out the company of prostitutes - until a terrifying sermon delivered by the church preacher (John Gielgud) paints such a vivid and terrifying picture of the horrors of hell that he resolves to give up his promicuous lifestyle.
