This article is about Total Eclipse, the movie. For the novel by John Brunner, see Total Eclipse (novel).

Total Eclipse is a 1995 movie directed by Agnieszka Holland that depicts a fictionalized account of the intense but also abusive homosexual relationship between the two 19th century French poets, Paul Verlaine (David Thewlis) and Arthur Rimbaud (Leonardo DiCaprio), a time when both of them experienced a height of creativity.

When Verlaine reads some poetry by the teenage Rimbaud, he is instantly taken with him and invites him to his home. There, Rimbaud displays no sense of manners or decency whatsoever, which for some reason increases the attraction felt by Verlaine. The two depart on a stormy affair, interluded by cruel practical jokes Verlaine plays on his wife.

Eventually, after a shooting incident in Brussels in which Verlaine injures Rimbaud at the wrist, he is arrested on charges of sodomy, while Rimbaud flees the country for Abyssinia.
