Storyline

The film is situated in the time when Mary Shelley wrote her novel "Frankenstein". It describes the relationship between Lord Byron, Percy and Mary Shelley during various voyages through different European countries in that period. Although Frankenstein is just an invention strange things happen to the people Mary does not like.—Volker Boehm



Short Review

Interesting film, which uses poetic symbols as a narrative thread, possibly that confuses the average viewer, but whoever sees it for having an interest in characters like Byron and Shelley will not be inconvenient, in particular the performances of the then young Hugh Grant deserves the four stars, the Best performance I've seen in Byron's cinema. It has a beautiful photograph, being this and the tragic representations of a passage of life of these romantic writers the most remarkable.
