電影的開頭字幕這麼說著: In September 1871, Paul Verlaine, a poet, young but already established in Paris,received a letter from the provinces containing eight extraordinary poems by Arthur Rimbaud. He wrote back at once, saying:“ My dear great soul, come to us, you are summoned, you are expected. ” What follows is their story directly taken from their letters and poetry. While Verlaine was a great poet, Rimbaud was a genius-a revolutionary. His poems from sixteen to the age of nineteen damaged forever the face of modern poetry. 然後整齣戲,真的就是這麼乾淨俐落安分守己的安排著。 我想重心應該是放在兩位主角的同性戀情節上
