TOTAL ABYSS ?

Having recently viewed this picture and having read some of the customer reviews, I think it wise to limit my remarks to personal reactions, past and present.With all of World History before them, just why are DiCaprio and Thewlis signing on to portray a duet like Arthur Rimbaud and Paul Verlaine in the first place? After doing some terrific work in "The Basketball Diaries" and "Gilbert Grape", why the need of a 20 year old budding star venturing into dangerous waters such as these? Why should Verlaine (Thewlis),only ten years older than Rimbaud(Leo), be cast as someone resembling a geriatric? Why no semblance of a French accent for Leo? Why no real mention of the collective works of these men--themes, theories,the non-sexual frustrations of any author? In short, the film is not a complete waste of time. Nor is it as topical ,meaningful, or well acted as it might have been. January 26, 2008

A Masterpiece!

When I saw this movie, like many of the movies I've reviewed so far, it was by sheer accident.

I was left stunned at the end.

As the movie unfolds, it becomes ever more so intense and gripping, as both a love story and a tragedy at the same time. The ending is truly gripping.

Leo, as usual, is phenomenal, and this was pre-Titanic. May 27, 2007

Total Eclipse

One of the best works by DiCaprio and of course Thewlis who seems to get less attention for some reason. Inspired me to read more about Rimbaud and Verlaine. I don't know how anybody who watched this movie along with What's eating Gilbert Grape can still call him just a pretty face. February 25, 2007

BEST OF DI CAPRIO

I love Leo and this is the best he ever did. After this splendid movie he decided to go mainstream, away from independent films but this was his apex. It's hard to believe he did this in the era of his "This Boy's Life" for it's the opposite characterization. I have watched this film many times and I enjoy it more each time--his acting while still in his teens is incredibly apt for this strange, eccentric, nihilistic and anti-establishment poet.
