Byron

Considered one of the most brilliant minds of his age, Byron explodes onscreen in this lush sexy and bold production.

Jonny Lee Miller (Trainspotting), Natasha Little (This Life, Vanity Fair) and Oscar-winning actress Vanessa Redgrave head a star cast in the dramatic, true story of Lord Byron, the greatest romantic poet of his age, and a man whose life was even more adventurous and scandalous than those of the heroes of his epic poems. A wildly successful poet, notorious lover, political radical, wit and foreign adventurer, Byron was a figure who defined the Romantic spirit of the early 19th century in the most reckless and brazen terms, a man who hurled himself into every imaginable experience, but could not find fulfillment in any of them.

This rich, historical drama explores the true identity of the wild poetic genius who broke every taboo in the book.
