JOSEPH STRICK R.I.P.

It's really sad that this week's death of American director Joseph Strick has been ignored in Ireland. Responsible for two James Joyce films (Ulysses, Portrait of the artist as a young man) he was one of the best known international directors to work here. Brave enough to film Ulysses, he received an Oscar nomination for its script. Even better was Portrait of the artist as a young man which was filmed here a decade later.
