A relatively objective restoration of Rimbaud's life, or the life of Rimbaud in Verlaine's eyes, Leonardo showed Rimbaud's arrogance and frivolity very well, but Verlaine's actor in the film did not fully show his poetic temperament and frivolity. Talented and completely became Rimbaud's vassal.
Among the symbolist poets, Rimbaud is an anomaly. From his behavior in life, he looks more like a speculator who has a talent for poetry but uses poetry to make a name for himself. Rimbaud's real concern is not poetry. Verlaine has the temperament of a real poet relatively, he discovered Rimbaud's talent, he knew the value of Rimbaud's works better than Rimbaud himself, but his tragedy is that he really regarded Rimbaud as a genius and always Did not see its speculative face.
The film's focus on Rimbaud and the lack of Verlaine's performance is a pity, and the over-exaggeration of the two's homosexuality also makes the film only a commercial film to please rotten women.
