Synopsis: Total Eclipse (1995)
Synopis: Director Agnieszka Holland (OLIVIER, OLIVIER, WASHINGTON SQUARE) presents this probing period piece that examines the nihilistic relationship between bad-boy French poet Arthur Rimbaud (Leonardo DiCaprio) and writer Paul Verlaine (David Thewlis). After Rimbaud sends Verlaine a series of poems, Verlaine summons him to Paris. Arriving at the home of his wife Mathilde's (Romane Bohringer) family, Verlaine is shocked to discover that Rimbaud is only 16 years old. Worse, he is a crude, obnoxious rabble-rouser who seems intent on making everyone's life miserable. Nonetheless, Verlaine falls in love with him, sparking a tumultuous relationship between the two that threatens Verlaine's marriage. As the poets travel to Brussels together, Rimbaud taunts Verlaine relentlessly, taking a toll on both, straining their relationship even further. As the troubled writers, DiCaprio and Thewlis deliver extremely powerful, unguarded performances, providing the film great emotional depth (Thewlis earned the Best Actor prize at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival), resulting in a work of biographical fiction that will remind viewers of both men's literary importance.Features: Total Eclipse (1995)

Totally tedious
, July 20, 2000Reviewer: forster57 - See all forster57's reviews0 of 1 Yahoo! Users found this Total Eclipse review helpful DiCaprio and poetry don't mix. Although intending to portray one of the world's most intense homoerotic relationships (and with a few glimpses of frontal nudity), it all adds up to they-make-up-they-break-up-they-make-up-they break-up ad nauseum. With endless talk, and a good deal of virulent misogyny. You end up sympathizing only with Verlaine's long-suffering wife. For the two lead characters are completely insufferable. Quite a disappointment from the director who brought us "Europa, Europa" and "The Secret Garden". ...
