Percy and Mary Shelley set off to the continent with Mary's stepsister, Claire. They meet and keep company with Lord Byron and his sycophantic doctor,Polidori. If you're either a Shelley or a Byron fan, many of the details of their lives are known to you, but I loved this film, its emphasis on Shelley's purity, its willingness to encompass the complexity and totality of those amazing times and the equally amazing people who gave us poetry, passion, courage and a desire to live life to the fullest. It is a lovely, lovely film.
