Three-time Academy Award« nominee* Leonardo
DiCaprio (Blood Diamond and David Thewlis (Harry
Potter and the Order of the Phoenix) are
spellbinding in this extraordinary psychological
adventure about two of history's greatest romantic
poets, Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine. Verlaine
(Thewlis) is a renowned poet of passionate verse,
yet when he reads the work of 16-year-old Rimbaud
(DiCaprio), its brilliance makes him feel like a
novice. Compelled to invite Rimbaud intohis home,
Verlaine is shocked by the recklessness of his new
pupil which all too quickly infects his own
refined life and marriage. Together the poets
could push the envelope of greatness but only if
Verlaine is willing to succumb to the insanity.
