Additional InformationIn this biographical tale about the lives of late-18th-century poets Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Linus Roache) and William Wordsworth (John Hannah), director Julien Temple (THE FILTH AND THE FURY) and screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce (HILARY AND JACKIE) come together to present an intriguing, dramatic, historical ode to two remarkable writers.<BR>Between political rallies, poetry parties, and other chaotic gatherings, Coleridge and his wife Sara (Samantha Morton) share an amusing, critical, intellectual, flirtatious friendship with Wordsworth and his sister, Dorothy (Emily Woof). Coleridge's opium habit plays a big part, as many of the scenes seem to drift and change with a dreamlike lucidity. While Coleridge gathers all who will follow to live in the country in what is meant to be a small bohemian utopia, Wordsworth enjoys his literary popularity. But when Dorothy begins to dote on Coleridge, Wordsworth's response is jealous and jaded, causing the beginning of the end of the friendship between the two poets. If not entirely accurate historically, PANDAEMONIUM is supremely entertaining, combining slick visuals with a saucy story with fascinating effect.
ReviewsLos Angeles Times - ...A vivid depiction of the most creative period in the life of Samuel Taylor Coleridge....Temple and Boyce succeed in evoking a plausibly volatile atmosphere in which great artists alternately collaborate and collide..., Entertainment Weekly - ...The film, with its swoony visual and narrative style, illuminates the intensity of the friendship between William Wordsworth and Samuel Taylor Coleridge...

    Very good film with excellent cast, no totally convinced about the factual accuracy of some of the content but this does not detract from an excellent movie.
