	Joyce - Burke review of the movie "Nora"
		Joyce and Barnacle meet in 1904, she a rural maid who moved to Dublin in the wake of a tragic love affair, he a struggling writer frustrated by social, religious and sexual conformity.
		The relationship between Joyce and Barnacle is commendably frank and refreshingly modern in its depiction of the lovers' sexual and emotional bond.
		For now we'll have to content ourselves with a flawed biopic that suggests Barnacle could have had 'em all, it was just her luck to get stuck with the most inventive wordsmith in the history of the English language.

	Nora
		If this is the case, then Nora Barnacle, the wife of James Joyce, must be a towering persona.
		Barnacle's bitterness for Murphy grew exponentially during this period, and although the reasons she hated Joyce are clear, the reasons why she loved him during this time are not.
		Barnacle and Joyce come to certain realizations about the love that they have for each other, and this is what cements the movie.

	The Sheila Variations: Bloomsday background
		Nora was basically running away from her Galway past (and the boy she had loved who had died - Joyce used that as his plot for the exquisite The Dead).
		Nora, to him, represented the mystery of ALL women - and through studying her character, and stealing the experiences from her own life, and how she would express them - he was able to delve into the relationship between the sexes in this grandly universal way.
		Without Nora confessing to him her old and painful love affair with the boy who had died (after standing beneath her window in the rain) - James Joyce never would have written The Dead - which I believe (and obviously I'm not alone) is the greatest short story ever written.

		Nora was based on a biography written by Brenda Maddox, was co-produced by Ewan McGregor and directed by Patrick Murphy.

	Nora Review
		Based on Brenda Maddox's 1988 biography, Nora charts the relationship between Barnacle and Joyce from their first chance meeting on a Dublin street in 1904 until their last visit to Ireland in 1912 before returning to the Continent for good.
		Nora has just been sick and is lying on their bed, when Joyce, standing by the fireplace, cautiously announces, "The landlady thinks you're pregnant", like it has nothing in the world to do with him!
		Contrary to popular belief, Lynch's Nora matches her lover in eloquence, be it in a heartfelt love letter in the early days of their courtship, so tenderly written which Joyce's bitchy friends dismiss it as a copy from a popular novel, or in their many arguments.

	bfi \| Sight & Sound \| Nora (1999)
		Nora, a hotel maid, is sexually confident and Joyce fears she has been with other men, including his rival Cosgrave.
		Consequently, the gap between the romantic couple narrows and, after they move to Trieste, they are simply depicted as equal combatants in a series of volatile and essentially repetitive arguments, usually centred on her fidelity or his intemperance and impecuniousness.
		Ultimately, it's unfortunate then that when director Murphy turned away from Joyce she could only create in Nora a limited and drearily familiar character from what was by many accounts (including the movie's source material) a dynamic and fascinating woman.

		When the Old Globe sent out its season brochures last year, the world premiere musical "Himself and Nora" (based on the passionate relationship of author James Joyce and his muse, Nora Barnacle) was advertised with a painting of the bespectacled, milquetoasty Joyce sitting alone on a park bench.
		Barnacle influenced much of Joyce's writing and was the inspiration for many of the characters in his books and stories (particularly Molly Bloom in "Ulysses").
		James and Nora lived together for 27 years before finally marrying in 1931, and remained devoted to each other until his death from cancer in 1941.

	Film Review: Nora (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		James Joyce and Nora Barnacle were a couple for the ages; he the struggling young writer and she the chambermaid who became his muse.
		While Lynch steals the show-appropriately enough as the film is about her character-McGregor seems far too pretty and, frankly, weak, to carry off the role of Joyce (yes, Joyce was frail in his later years but he couldn't have been THAT frail as a young man).
		Nora remains a seriously intentioned, beautifully shot and almost entirely worthy addition to the many works devoted to these two very memorable people.

		His troubled relationship with Nora is seen as a necessarily combative one, where love and desire are complicated by jealousy and wilful unconventionality.
		Yet he is also a vulnerable and needy man who requires her (distinctively and explicitly feminine) strength and her ability to fight with and against him to sustain a true creative and emotional partnership.
		The relationship issues between them and especially for Nora have been resolved satisfactorily as far as the narrative is concerned when the movie ends, and the rest of the adventure is for the viewer to pick up on by reading some books.

		This is the true story of Nora, the woman who, transformed by Joyce's imagination, became Molly Bloom, arguably the most famous female character in twentieth-century literature.
		Ultimately it is the portrait of a relationship -- of Nora's complicated, committed, and at times shocking relationship with a hardworking, hard drinking genius and with his work.
		In NORA: THE REAL LIFE OF MOLLY BLOOM, the award-winning biographer Brenda Maddox has given us a powerful new lens through which to see both James Joyce and the woman who was in turn his inspiration and his salvation.

	Nora Barnacle
		James Joyce was a regular visitor to Galway, as his wife and chief inspiration was born in the city's Bowling Green area.
		Nora Barnacle was to provide the inspiration for the character of Molly Bloom in 'Ulysses'.
		Nora was the perfect foil for Joyce and he remained faithfully in passionate love with her from the time that they eloped in 1904 until the time of their deaths.

	James Joyce's "The Dead"
		In 1904, he met Nora Barnacle, who was to become his lifelong companion, mother of his two children Giorgio and Lucia, and eventually his wife in 1931.
		Like Nora, Gretta comes from the west of Ireland and is not accepted by her husband's family because they see her as "country cute" (Joyce, Dubliners).
		In fact, the idea of Gretta still mourning for her dead love Micheal Furrey comes straight from Joyce's fear that Nora was still pre-occupied with her one of her past lovers, Micheal Bodkin, who died in a very similar fashion.

		She combined innocence and earthiness, fulfilling his longing for purity and desecration and in recalling their encounter on 16th June 1904 he later wrote of "a sacrament which left in me a final sense of sorrow and degradation".
		Though Nora could never fulfil the role of intellectual companion, she was his life-long love, his inspiration, his muse and without her, the world would be without his literary legacy.
		In October 1904, in true Nora Barnacle spirit, she left Dublin with a man she hardly knew, to set out on a European adventure.
