Total Eclipse is a 1995 erotic historical drama film directed by Agnieszka Holland, based on a 1967 play by Christopher Hampton, who also adapted it for the screen. Based on letters and poems, it presents a historically accurate account of the relationship between 19th-century French poets Arthur Rimbaud (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Paul Verlaine (David Thewlis). Warner Bros. has included the film in the catalogue of Warner Archive Collection.
