Here's another biopic, this time on Rimbaud. I've seen this one, and Leo Dicaprio plays Rimbaud and some other guy plays Verlaine. Ok, you know the story right? Melodrama, love affair, poetry, death, etc. One of Dan's friends loves this film but I think it's pretty much worthless.
It just gives all the cliches of the artist, one by one. And the film referred to Rimbaud as a "genius" and Verlaine as a "great poet." Well, Rimbaud had some moments here and there but was overall, an immature writer. But Verlaine sucked ass.
