Slightly erotic period drama.

"James Joyce's Women" is a 1985 British/Irish period drama based on Fionnula Flanagan's 1977 play.Fionnula Flanagan plays James Joyce's wife Nora as well as some of the real women in his life and fictional women from the writer's novels.Fionnula Flanagan recites some of James Joyce's most famous passages and in Molly Bloom's closing erotic monologue has explicit on-camera masturbation sequence which is wonderfully sleazy.I was impressed with her excellent performance of multiple female characters.Still there are some dull monologues in "James Joyce's Women" and I was expecting more erotica and nudity.If you are a fan of James Joyce books or literature/theatre buff you can watch this forgotten film which was never released on DVD.

Trivia
As of this writing [June 2018], the film has finally been put out on DVD, in all-region release in Australia. The case cover of the DVD has a still pic of the nude Flanagan from the famous masturbation scene, unlike the American MCI Universal VHS cover in the 1980s in which Flanagan has her nightgown on.
