Title: DETESTABLE, LONG, AND DULL
Review: Breathtaking? Exhilarating? What other lies are posted on this page about this horrible, horrible film?Over two hours of sheer torture. The characters are odious, one keeps rooting for either of them to die and thus end the film promptly. (alas, my brother insisted on sitting through this thus making me a captive audience).The self-absorbtion, greed, sadistic tendencies, abusiveness, and general cruelty of both Verlaine and Rimbaud culminate in a tedious, vile, and overly lengthy waste of celluloid. Depressing, badly made, in places embarassingly acted, a meandering tale that leaves one hating humanity...skip it & be glad you did.Aside...love the 'stach on Leo when he's allegedly older. Must have been the Big Top Special at the makeup outlet.
