- TriviaSteven Bernstein wrote the script while staying in the same Chelsea hotel where Dylan Thomas lived while in New York and famously died. Thomas came into the lobby, announced "I have just had 18 straight whiskeys. I think it's a record" and fell into a coma from which he never recovered.
Featured review
This movie is pure cinematographic magic.
In 1 hour and 41 minutes, Bernstein manages to reveal the multifaceted Dylan, a rather Herculean feat in and of itself!
A talented poet with rock star status who was self destructive, alcoholic, depressive, a great romantic, a bohemian, an intellectual and a true charmer. With the strength of his words he could easily charm his female audience.
Watching the movie gives the audience an insight to the director's mind; a genius, perfectionist , with self doubt, handsome and a healthy dose of humour. As a genuine master of light and "mise en scène", the movie exudes emotion that is supported by a stellar script.
The absence of colour instantly immerses the audience in the captivating world of Thomas and his depression in the 50's. A number of occasional well placed splashes of colour are very refreshing and mark the moments of happiness and true love as Thomas would like to include in his life. There are a number of theatrical and poetic elements throughout the story.
Bernstein masterfully balances the stellar performances of the six main protagonists.
An instant classic worth of multiple academy awards, it should be used as reference for film, art and psychology schools!
