We have become quite relaxed about watching British and American actors having sex on screen. But when honest Gaels start at it, that’s another matter. DONALD CLARKE visits the set of Tom Hall’s new movie Sensation, described as a “film about two people in a room having sex”. But, as he finds, that isn’t the half of it.

LEOPOLD BLOOM did not, as I recall, make it to Bray on his titular day, but the southbound Dart journey – past Martello towers and lots of snot-green sea – still feels satisfactorily Joycean. It is Bloomsday, and the seaside town, blasted by sunlight, is looking as good as it knows how to look. Yet down this street and round this corner something dankly disturbing is afoot. Sex, violence, perversion: all within a few yards of the resort’s unsuspecting ice-cream parlours.
