Arthur Rimbaud documentary

Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud (20 October 1854 – 10 November 1891) was a French poet known for his transgressive and surreal themes, and his influence on modern literature and arts, prefiguring surrealism. Born in Charleville, he started writing at a very young age and excelled as a student, but abandoned his formal education in his teenage years to run away from home to Paris amidst the Franco-Prussian War. During his late adolescence and early adulthood he produced the bulk of his literary output, then completely stopped writing literature at age 20, after assembling his last major work, Illuminations.

Best documentary I’ve ever seen on him. I especially LOVE the part that says he realized he could use poetry as a weapon, for which to attack, and to defend himself

He wields language within poetry to pillage all falsehoods and everyone that he denounces. Incredible!

Brilliant poet, brilliant human, and a brilliant documentary. Thank you.

I'm surprised that it's just thousand of watches of these video. Arthur is really a awesome guy. Cheers from snowy bloody mother Russia, folks!

Ty so MUCH for this. I will share it with everyone I know.

I'm baffled by the lack of coverage on RIMBAUD. On youtube.

Powerful story unfamiliar to me. Compelling. So hopeful and then so sad, his life. Glad though to have encountered this posting.

It is about time they did a decent documentary on Rimbaud

I live in France as a foreign student and i'm preparing for my french BAC and we have to study Rimbaud! This video really helped thanks🙏

Well done documentary.
I've read Rimbaud for over forty years
and recently I've been thinking
that his works are from a meandering adolescent unmatured mind.
Christ, I still have my early writings from fifty years ago
and I gotta say
their only in english.
Ce la vie.

In 1960 I spent a couple of wasted days searching for where Rimbaud lived in Reading Berks - I failed, but many years later saw the place when derelict in a documentary, which said Verlaine was with him. There are recently-discovered photos of him among the Communards.

I owned an original 19th century drawing of Rimbaud by a pupil of Fantin-Latour, which my mother burned. Its loss added more shit to my life.

The life of a poet: a truly dammed one. A fine suffering in the line of God’s own.
A great example of attempting a geographical cure, and not finding it.
But, what a magnificent attempt.

love from Egypt! kindly republish Kafka's episode. ❤❤

[kimmccabe]

He influenced me as a poet-all his friends! Later works..free of mother, less French and syrupy, more universal. War helped I'm sure. Bring sweet poetry back!

I read a Rimbaud poem many years ago, "Poor People in Church, " and unable to find it anywhere now. How strange that it seems to be missing. It was scathing and wonderful.

What a life!!!! So intense! So well lived...

Thisdoc has so many errors. At 13:30, rimbaud and verlaine were last ditch efforts, they were not the first choices by the painter and rimbaud was said to have been seen as "dirty" and "unkempt".

hilarious interviews with the french public. the english translator puts some good emotion in

[JSTNtheWZRD]

0:47 how did he get about, on his legs

[saulbennett]

Is there any evidence that Rimbaud lived in Scarborough? I know he mentioned it in a poem but other biographies dispute it.
