Starring: Ewan McGregor and Susan Lynch
A film examining the relationship between Nora Barnacle and her husband, the Irish author James Joyce
This raunchy drama is based on the Brenda Maddox biography Nora: The Real Life of Molly Bloom and includes scenes filmed on the Irish Rail network with K2 Class 2-6-0 No.461. The initial scene was filmed at ‘Galway’, but it is not yet known which station/s were used in this production. There is also an early street scene in Dublin, said to be in Nassau Street with a tram visible in the background. This may be a set, but I would be interested to know either way.
