Arthur DiCaprio

Leonardo, Leonardo, who recently won an Oscar-o.

He's painted naked ladies, faked being a co-pilot and even lazed about on the beach being all good looking and that. But have we turned a blind eye to Total Eclipse? The god-awful film which I recently saw with Korean subtitles (don't ask).

DiCaprio plays a cheeky Rimbaud with an American accent and rustled Britpop hair. David Thewlis (a.k.a. Remus Lupin) plays a very creepy Paul Verlaine and sips absinthe/Teisseire Sirop Menthe like there's no tomorrow. If you wanted to have a quick dose of Rimbaud's revolutionary poetry and haunting historical context, then you've come to completely the wrong film.

Not only is it awkward, but it downplays Rimbaud literary talent.

Rant over.
