I dont know people can hate such a masterpiece, its even about love, lust or passion, its about finding a path, its about the manifestation of free will, the choice of that will forever lead to eternity, its about the process by which a poet cannot escape (loss of inspiration, futile struggle of comfort, if you did not realize it then youre dumb asfack) both the characters shows the complexity of the human faculties, how they traverse with each others words, both poet new how destructive it is to be devoured by their own writings, and how their eternity shall forever be etched into each others comfort. HOW TRULY MAGNIFICENT WRITING, I LOVE HOW ACTORS PORTRAY DESTRUCTION, GRIEF, SADNESS, JOY, THE POISON OF DREAMS, AND LUST. TRULY A WORK OF ART

I was speechless for a moment after finishing it. it was a rollercoaster ride type movie. A few parts are hard to understand with the dialogues as their relationship is way more complex and of course both Paul and Arthur's characters are complex as well. it's not about just two men having sex. I think the director wanted to show the complex feelings between these two. the acting was good. I can't decide whether to say it's good or it's bad. It oddly blends both and is beautiful in another way. everyone has individual opinions of course. it depends how the viewers observe. I won't say it's worth watching but you can give it a try!

I find it a great film. One of Di Caprio's best!! Far more better then Titanic! The story of Verlaine and Rimbaud is told very nice and in this film you feel the impossible-love they have for eachother. Great acting work. With some moments of not-understanding. but never dull!

I caught this movie late at night on HBO because I couldn't quite sleep. Didn't help much in that regard because it made me laugh out loud at the bad parts -- which it seemed to be made of. A boyish, babyfat Leo DiCaprio was just the start. His leap from this to 'Titanic' is more than epic. I was hoping to see something insightful about Rimbaud, the real-life poet DiCaprio played, who influenced Bob Dylan among others. but I'm not even sure there was a phrase of his poetry in the script. He writes furiously and produces plenty of pages of something that he shows to his mother. After reading intently for a few agonizing minutes, she says, "What does it mean?" My sentiments, exactly. A great example where reading the book would be the right choice.

The only reason why I watched this in the first place was because I am a big Leonardo DiCaprio fan, but after I watched it once, I felt incredibly SICK! I don't recommend this at all, Leo gives a good performance but David Thewlis gives an uneven performance and the two of them together is a big mis-cast! NOOOOOOOO!

"Total Eclipse" with Leo is one of the best LOVE stories I have ever seen !!! One of the great episodes is that when Paul Verlaine is sailing away, and Arthur ( Leo ) cries aloud with request for returning. Also, the final episode makes anyone feel like crying.

A monumental piece of crap.Yes, my curiosity for Leo made me rent this one. Next time I'll have someone to remind me how curiosity killed the cat. Bad acting from Di Caprio and Thewlis; boring pointless plot. Leonardo was way over the top, in his effort to portray Arthur Rimbaud as obnoxious yet brilliant, he fails miserably (we're just left with the obnoxious and annoying part of the character). And what about those accents!! And the final part!!! No one in their right mind would ever take these guys for "Les Poètes Maudits". Nothing memorable to see here. Go rent Seven Years in Tibet, where David Thewlis performance is much better.

This movie is horrible. I love Holland's Europa Europa, so I was surprised how bad this was. I am a gay man, so the sex scenes didn't bother me. But this movies is about two bumbling idiots. Rimbaud was a genius some say? He may have wrote some fine poems, but after seeing what a disgusting, vile man he was I have no desire to read anything he wrote. And the other guy, Verlaine or whatever, is nothing more than a drunken, wife-beater. Some say this is a great love story. Pretentious junk trying to make a vile, uninteresting story look artistic and beautiful.
