Total Eclipse
Female Titanic fanatics will to all intents lust after to catch this screen because it features teen heart-throb Leonardo DiCaprio in the buff, but apart from that they are likely to be disappointed. Director Agnieszka Holland (Europa, Europa) and writer Christopher Hampton (Dangerous Liaisons) acquire produced a tiresome biopic that focuses on the more pale aspects of the (sadomasochistic) relationship between 19th-century poets Verlaine (David Thewlis) and Rimbaud (DiCaprio). Made pre-Titanic, it's proof that DiCaprio is more than just a pretty front, but he's affirmed better antiquated performances in films What's Eating Gilbert Grape and This Old egg's Spirit.
Total Eclipse
Getting it properly when doing a veil about artists is difficult. Too much delving into what makes them tick can look haughty, too unimaginative and it makes them look wearying. Hollander here makes a staunch stab at what went into the love proceeding and redundant of poets Verlaine (Thewlis) and Rimbaud (DiCaprio) but falls at the essential hurdle of making them sympathetic. Verlaine's the established poetaster, who invites young Rimbaud to come stay; Rimbaud seduces Verlaine and the two of them out in a continue off round Europe together, fighting all the time. It was a chief video outcome because DiCaprio gets nekkid as a jay bird.
