How about "Stevie" with Glenda Jackson as Stevie Smith? Came out in the
early 80s. I remember liking it then.

Dear Poets,

I'm teaching a Film/Lit course in the fall and wonder if anyone can
recommend a few good films that offer up poetic content, to put it vaguely,
or a representation of a poet that doesn't completely romanticize the poet,
disintegrating the person in the process.  For instance, I wouldn't use that
Sylvia Plath film that came out a few years ago, starring Gweneth Paltrow.
Anything that incorporates the poet's writing would be wonderful ...

Did anyone see "Before Night Falls" who thinks it's worthwhile?

Thanks,

Amy
