i have no idea what the other reviewer be talk about this be a wonderful movie and and create a sense of the era that feel like time travel . the character be truly young and mary be a strong match for byron and claire be juvenile and a tad annoy and polidori be a convincing beat down sycophant . all be beautiful and curious and and decadent . not the frighten wreck they be in gothic . gothic work a an independent piece of shock film and and i love it for different reason and but this work like a merchant and ivory film and and be from my reading the best capture of what the summer must have felt like . romantic and yes and but completely rekindles my interest in the life of shelley and byron every time i think about the film . one of my all time favorite .
