SFIFF 2011: Oscar Godoy’s “Ulysses” – Review and Showtimes

After finishing watching Ulysses, I was perplexed as to what to think, or how to feel about it.  It kept me thinking – among my thoughts were about the conditions of immigrants in my country; how I did not want to eat beef for some time; and then how much this reminded me of the compassionate way that Upton Sinclair treated immigrant workers in “The Jungle”.  The similarities between the book and the film are numerous (immigrants, slaughterhouse, cheap/uncertain labour, etc.), but they do part frequently and in such ways as to make the film be granted its own unique place.
