Uliisses

About This Movie

Uliisses is this intriguing 1982 piece by Werner Nekes that really dives into the experimental. If you're into Joyce's Ulysses, you'll recognize the influence; it’s all about human interactions, but they’re not just straightforward dialogues. Instead, Nekes leans heavily on symbolic imagery and poetic language—there’s a kind of dreamlike quality that permeates the whole thing. The pacing feels deliberately languid, allowing you to soak in the visuals and themes. There's nudity, sure, but it almost feels like part of the landscape rather than for shock value. What stands out here is how the film blends avant-garde techniques with literature, creating an atmosphere that’s both cerebral and oddly tactile. It's definitely a unique watch.
