“Ulysses” — smutty and sublime — takes as its subject one day, June 16, 1904, in the life of what was then the second city of Britain’s endless empire, Dublin. Its author, James Joyce, wrote about the perambulations of one Leopold Bloom, who leaves his home at Seven Eccles Street in the morning and returns there in the evening. In between, he encounters nothing less than the entire world. A new documentary shares the book’s madcap mastery.
