This biographical account of the tempestuous, taboo-shattering love affair between two 19th century French poets--Paul Verlaine (David Thewlis) and Arthur Rimbaud (Leonardo DiCaprio)--didn't do much at the box office when it was released in 1995. But after the success of Titanic, it became somewhat infamous when Playgirl magazine announced its intention to publish nude pictures of DiCaprio taken from the film. (Nobody much seemed to care that Thewlis, who also starred in Mike Leigh's Naked, also appears nude in Total Eclipse.) The truth is, the nudity in question only lasts for a few frames, but it's certainly in character for the young wild-man Rimbaud.
Directed by Agnieszka Holland (Europa, Europa, The Secret Garden), Total Eclipse begins in 1870 when the newly married Verlaine is 24 and Rimbaud is 17. The volatile combination of their reckless passions, idiosyncratic talents, and obnoxious egos is a recipe for disaster--and l'amour fou--culminating in a two-year prison term for Verlaine who was convicted of sodomy. DiCaprio's work in this film (as well as This Boy's Life, What's Eating Gilbert Grape?, and The Basketball Diaries) proves he is a serious actor who's interested in risky, challenging work--not just the matinee idol he became in the wake of Titanic. --Jim Emerson

Holland is a Polish director who directed a stream of medium-budget Hollywood arthouse films following the success of her breakthrough period piece, EUROPA EUROPA. Her fine directing is undermined by Leo DiCaprio's inept acting. Getting Leo to play Rimbaud is like asking Burt Reynolds to play Macbeth; this is just way out of Leo's league, and it's painful to watch him struggle with the dialogue. Apparently this was filmed before his breakthrough into superstardom; I read that once TITANIC came ... Read More

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 ... Read More

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.
