Based
on Christopher Hampton’s play of the same title,
this low-budget, largely European film - directed
by Agnieszka Holland - essays the tortured and torturous
19th century homosexual relationship between
French poets Arthur Rimbaud (Leo) and Paul Verlaine
(David Thewlis).
Enormously
talented, hopelessly immature, shamelessly spoiled
and single-mindedly self-destructive, Rimbaud plays
Mozart to Verlaine’s Soliari in this tragic and
obsessive love story that is based largely in fact.
