- Jean Nicolas Arthur Rimbaud (20 October 1854 - 10 November 1891) was a French poet known for his transgressive and surreal themes, and his influence on modern literature and arts, prefiguring surrealism. Born in Charleville, he started writing at a very young age and excelled as a student, but abandoned his formal education in his teenage years to run away from home to Paris amidst the Franco-Prussian War. During his late adolescence and early adulthood he produced the bulk of his literary output, then completely stopped writing literature at age 20, after assembling his last major work, Illuminations.
Arthur Rimbaud documentary
2005
Best documentary I’ve ever seen on him. I especially LOVE the part that says he realized he could use poetry as a weapon, for which to attack, and to defend himself
He wields language within poetry to pillage all falsehoods and everyone that he denounces. Incredible!
Brilliant poet, brilliant human, and a brilliant documentary. Thank you.
I'm surprised that it's just thousand of watches of these video. Arthur is really a awesome guy. Cheers from snowy bloody mother Russia, folks!
Yeah Bro, its Sad that people don't talk about him that much nowadays... My favorite poet. Cheers from Brazil!
Yeah, Rimbaud's a fenomenal rebel/poet!
Hi from Holland :)
8.722 now, slowly but surely.....
I remember dropping LSD and watching Lenoardo DeCaprio as Arthur Rimbaud bio pic movie in the theater
Yes. And what's so bloody about it? Hellooo from Chicago
The few the proud the Rimbaudians
Well I'm listening 🎶 to Jim Morrison, and he was a big fan, City of night baby.
Ty so MUCH for this. I will share it with everyone I know.
I'm baffled by the lack of coverage on RIMBAUD. On youtube.
You're welcome! I know, right? It's a crime. I'll share it widely, too.
@@AuthorDocumentaries good deal sir (or ma'am respectively) he was one of my greatest inspirations as a writer.
Although I use rhyme schemes in some of my work, the Modernist/blank verse prose I do is a direct expression of his influence.
@@jeremyhennessee6604 Sir is right. That's really cool. If you feel the urge, post a sample under the vid for the audience! I'm drawing from his work to use for my novel. I'm on a French symbolist streak. In any event, good to hear from a fellow Rimbaud fan.
Powerful story unfamiliar to me. Compelling. So hopeful and then so sad, his life. Glad though to have encountered this posting.
This is SUCH AN INCREDIBLE DOCUMMENTARY!!! It is SO WELL WRITTEN! So many memorable quotes!!! And so accurate. And the narrator’s accent is PERFECT, I love how he says the work “Poets”
It is about time they did a decent documentary on Rimbaud
He influenced me as a poet-all his friends! Later works..free of mother, less French and syrupy, more universal. War helped I'm sure. Bring sweet poetry back!
In 1960 I spent a couple of wasted days searching for where Rimbaud lived in Reading Berks - I failed, but many years later saw the place when derelict in a documentary, which said Verlaine was with him. There are recently-discovered photos of him among the Communards.
Well done documentary.
I've read Rimbaud for over forty years
and recently I've been thinking
that his works are from a meandering adolescent unmatured mind.
Christ, I still have my early writings from fifty years ago
and I gotta say
their only in english.
Ce la vie.
Well it's good to know the French to study un saison dans enfer oui?
I owned an original 19th century drawing of Rimbaud by a pupil of Fantin-Latour, which my mother burned. Its loss added more shit to my life.
That is the baddest news I have heard in a year.
What an interesting character.
Wow, wonderful to see something on Rimbaud in English! Do you happen to have anything similar on Baudelaire and Mallarmé?
Not wonderful. They can't even say 'Rimbaud' correctly...
Truly excellent and endlessly illuminating. Thank-you!!
What a glorious documentary!
Thank you for everything 👸 ✨️ 🙌 🙏
Originaly this very interesting and entertaining documentary is in French for Francophone viewers. I think the conceptors of it are Belgians (Wallons). It is, in my opinion, as good as it gets. Acute and informative yet not boring or scholarly pompous. It was just a brilliant idea to keep the original version by simply adding translation for anglophone readers.
Thank heaven they did translate most of it into English because my eyesight is too poor to read subtitles; especially the ones used here.
What a life!!!! So intense! So well lived...
He died somewhat young…
And filled with intense suffering.
hilarious interviews with the french public. the english translator puts some good emotion in
Thisdoc has so many errors. At 13:30, rimbaud and verlaine were last ditch efforts, they were not the first choices by the painter and rimbaud was said to have been seen as "dirty" and "unkempt".
It also says there are no photos of his parents, but there's at least one I've seen of his mother.
The life of a poet: a truly dammed one. A fine suffering in the line of God’s own.
A great example of attempting a geographical cure, and not finding it.
But, what a magnificent attempt.
Being an artist is no picnic either
@@bingo4519 I have never considered myself a poet, more of an artist with words when I do use words. Since poetics has no rules then perhaps you are correct...
Well said.
@@JSTNtheWZRD why do you think poetics has no rules? do you mean because no one is socially force to write in a certain way? I don't understand the seeming preoccupation with ignoring or throwing rules away on principle,
@@nihilioellipsis poetry never had rules to begin with, I believe free art must be free, and critiqued based on mood, not content. Both E.E. Cummings and Charlie Chaplin were terrible authors, as far as their autobiographies, but great artists.... I know it doesn't make sense, but I'm an artist, what do I know. Poetry like art in my humble opinion must be about the big picture and sod the details. And being an artisan isn't the same but could have the same reaction as a craft also produces a mood, which is why I cannot tolerate the surrealist movement of creating certain symbols to be exclusive only to their group, is a play on very worldly politics and fraternity - not modern surrealists, the first and manifestoed unreasonable people, that made Dalí more Dada as he left them to become the true and surreal model for the future of it. I don't know if you know about this stuff. For instance Pesoa would write like with a child's enthusiasm, and if you didn't see this you might misunderstand his poetry, but when you do it unfolds into a magical world... myself, I have looked at Pound every which way and love it, and understand some of it, but not all of it, haha. Does this jumble of thoughts make any sense to you? I might not have made sense, and if I didn't forgive me, please. JM
Really great! I love this treatment.
I love this video. I have translated all of ILLUMINATIONS. I know Rimbaud.
Exceptionally excellent illuminations!
Thank you!
love from Egypt! kindly republish Kafka's episode. ❤❤
His “disordering of all the senses” became the marching orders for so much of later 20th Century poetry, as well as musical lyricism of that century..

I have 1st Edition, of, Enid Starkie, biography of, Arthur Rimbaud.......1961...Starkie was a Professor, at University of Washington....Seattle...Best documentary of Arthur Rimbaud....
I’m just becoming aware of him and his work.
I love what Nietchie said about culture; regarding the French! It was clarified after hearing memoirs by Rose Franklin about things French. It has even been realized in my own birth and ancestry. French is the only culture.
Rimbaud is the greatest.
Kerouac never recklessly traveled about like Rimbaud.
And Rimbaud travelled even more recklessly after he stopped writing entirely
I’m just now becoming familiar with this man. I’m not well read. I am an educated scientist. An artist by nature.
thank you
Is there any evidence that Rimbaud lived in Scarborough? I know he mentioned it in a poem but other biographies dispute it.
Rimbaud's work and approach sharpened and focused arguably the best poet in America: Bob Dylan.
And lots of great beat writers, & Jim Morrison and Patti Smith, both great poets who were also inspired by Rimbaud. (And by the beats...)
Morrison is the best poet of America
There's a difference between song lyrics and poetry.
@@baronsaturday9529 Gregory Corso
What a sad statement. If that’s the best America has to offer or compare to Rimbaud… that’s incredibly sad. Although these people are talented in their fields they’re not even close to Rimbaud. Even among french poets he stands out-and french poets are quite something. Nerval, Baudelaire, Apollinaire… Rimbaud basically quit poetry before he was 20. Yet his style was so accomplished it can only be called genius-in the actual sense of the word.

tha rhythm of Yer poem would work as lyrics , cheers Man
@@danielalexandermclachlanga3781 ty very much Daniel, my sincerest gratitude. I often compose with musical lyricism in mind.
I have a deep love for nearly all styles and generations of poetry though.
Words can save, or damn. I believe.
Cheers man.
Will you be doing a piece on Oscar Wilde?
You know what? I do have something on Wilde. I'll post it in the coming week
thanks for this.
Unfortunately no documentary could ever do Rimbaud any justice, including this one, unless their done by a Henry Miller of some sort.

I am only now aware of Rimbaud.🧑🎨♾️🎭
You are not alone

Alright. I'll quit.
I hope that three was not too many.
I don't want to flood your comments.
No, it was perfect. Great imagery and storytelling. I can sense Rimbaud in there. Well done.
Nice😀

Hi Patti. I love you. And Robert too.

Why do the French, and with the exception of the Brits, the entire rest of the planet pronounce the poet's last name as; RIMbo but the Brits say; RAMbo? The entire country gets such a simple vowel recognition test wrong, why?
I’m pretty sure the French say Rambo or chhhhambo

My favorite poet! Long live Rimbaud!!!
How can I find the original French version? This one is really annoying!!!
Love the writer bios you’ve accumulated in one channel. But where is Jules Verne? Sci-fi is huge now and he was a major player in getting that momentum going ;)

I love Arthur Rimbaud. Does anyone know why his French provincial family named him with an an English first name?
Bsd fans 🤝 literary fans
I knew he was fruity, thnx for uploading!
Ah! We are relieved that you did. GOOD for you!
Impensabile, un documento su Rimbaud in inglese, peggio di vecchioni, gli inglesi di Rimbaud non capiscono un cazzo
'Do you remember him?
Of course, he was a complete Bastard.'

Arthur Rimbaud.....the vagabond poet beloved by Jim Morrison 🎆
Bob Dylan and Patti Smith too
Rimbaud? First Blood was good but the sequels were rubbish…
I don't know if you knew but Rambo was actually named after Rimbaud.

All of the people reading on this doc know nothing about Rimbaud!
さっぶー。
面倒臭い。惨め。楽。とても良いものに出会ったではないか！
barbarian tribes? savage hordes?
He was loved by 13-year-olds. Best to move on to someone else
Like?
@@FACEGRINDproductions Milton, Blake, Ovid, Homer, Dante, Lawrence
Very bad doc. One has an impression from all the sketches that he was a painter. All the people reading him only shows he is on the European syllabus.
Insanity romantized
😂😂😂😂
Where does this French arrogance come from? As for Rimbaud, was it appropriate for a poet to sell slaves?
Wow. What a depressing, desperate life. How much worse could it have been if he had stayed home, finished school, and gotten a real job? It's not like all that traveling and suffering aided his poetry. Sounds like he didn't write any after he really started globe trotting, by himself.
If he had, then you likely wouldn't have had this video to post such a deeply poignant comment on.
@@FACEGRINDproductions Ah ha! You make a valid point!
What a poor and demeaning portrait of Rimbaud. Please delete!
Dull and boring!!!!
