Nora (2000)
In 1904, in Dublin, James Joyce chats up Nora Barnacle, a hotel maid recently come from Galway. She enchants him with her frank, direct and uninhibited manner, and before long, he's convinced her to come with him to Trieste, where he has a job with Berlitz. Over time, Nora pulls him through phobias, tolerates his drinking, takes in his brother Stan, and bests Joyce at 'the writin' game' to bring him back to Italy from Dublin where he's gone to open a cinema. But his sexual jealousy threatens the relationship and sends her back to Galway with the children. Is there any way to tame Jim's green-eyed monster? And, will the lad ever get his stories published?

the leading man is my tpye
I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.
The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
