Kudos to Dicaprio for taking this risky role so early in his career & for steely line readings of some ruthless lines but the execution of the dysfunctional love affair between Rimbaud & Verlaine is painfully inept & often unintentionally comic. I can't help thinking how much better The Broken Tower is, not least because it respects the poetry first.

"Despite its fascinating subject matter, Total Eclipse is both unflattering and loveless." - Ed Gonzalez

Ok, I'll admit it. The sex scenes effectively killed the film for me. There. Call me a homophobe, if you wish.
