BYRON (2003)

JULIAN FARINO

Plot

It has been customary to portray Byron as the archetypal Romantic hero with a big floaty cloak, eyeliner and an evil chuckleAn intelligent and perceptive film that concentrates on the highly comples witty, intelligent and charismatic writer rather than some . Jonny Lee Miller carries off Byron's personality with aplomb, making him smug and petulant while unavoidably charismatic and likable. Of course it's still all conjecture, but as far as Byron films go, there's nothing out there to touch this.
