PANDAEMONIUM (2000)

Cast

Plot

It is 1795 and an impassioned Coleridge is extoling the virtues of liberty, democracy, and free speech at a political rally. Wordsworth, watching from the crowd wastes little time befriending Coleridge and as their friendship grows the idea for their great opus, the 'Lyrical Ballads', is born; but as Wordsworth searches for the elusive spark of invention he becomes increasingly envious of his friend who burns with the uncontrollable fire of his own creativity. Bold, brash, visually stunning, superbly acted and provocative. If you are looking for an historically accurate film you may be disappointed, however, if you're looking for a film that explores the nature of creativity Pandaemonium is a real treat.
