Total Eclipse / Agnieszka Holland (Director), Leonardo DiCaprio, David Thewlis, Romane Bohringer A grand human drama starring Leonardo DiCaprio of "Titanic" as Arthur Rimbaud, the French poet who lived in the 19th century. Verlaine, a promising young poet, falls in forbidden love with Rimbaud, a beautiful and unrestrained young man who comes from the countryside seeking his support. "I was more lustful for Rimbaud's talent than for my wife's body." This human drama depicts the trajectory of Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine, representative poets of 19th-century French symbolism. The story unfolds on a grand scale, from the miraculous encounter between the young, beautiful, and talented Rimbaud and Verlaine, who is both addicted to alcohol and harbors contradictory emotions of violent outbursts and shy kindness, to their two-year homosexual relationship, the ensuing separation and ruin, and finally, Rimbaud's solitary death after wandering through Africa and other places. The film portrays the love and cruelty, inspiration and antagonism, and the parting and reconciliation of Rimbaud and Verlaine as a violent, erotic, and provocative love story with a touch of emotion, capturing the two men's feelings with delicate descriptions. In addition to the excellence of the story, the acting of L. DiCaprio, who embodies the unscrupulous and cruel Rimbaud with his young and genius talent, and D. Thewlis, who plays Verlaine, who is drawn to him while struggling with the conflict between creation and destruction in the artist's inner self, is also superb.
