Pandaemonium

Julian Temple's inventive film on the friendship and betrayal between English poets Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) and William Wordsworth (1770-1850) is fresh and full of energy that captures the spirit of the times. It's Merchant-Ivory on acid kind of a film. The characters are well developed and the friendship so well portrayed that the betrayal is really devastating. Linus Roache (Priest) and John Hannah (Four Weddings and a Funeral) are perfectly cast. The supporting roles feature a young Samantha Morton and Andy Serkis (Lord of the Rings). YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.
