A Portrait of the artist as a young man /
Joseph Strick.
Running time: 92 minutes
In Dublin in 1900 Stephen Dedalus, the future genius James Joyce struggles through the erises of youth and sexuality. When frustrated by conventional women he turns to prostitutes and suffers the agonies of conscience furthered by his church. Then terrified by a priest's sermon on the horrors of hell, he gives up promiscuity. He matures into a young man able to begin to find his place with his own ideals in the world.
