Willem Dafoe and Best Actress Oscar(R) nominee Miranda Richardson play modernist poet T. S. Eliot and his first wife, Vivienne Haigh-Wood, in director Brian Gilbert and writer Michael Hastings' sympathetic portrait of a tortured marital mismatch. Desperate to become more English than the English, disciplined Tom Eliot from St. Louis falls for the high-spirited daughter of British aristocrats. However, the reticent writer soon discovers that impulsive and unstable Viv suffers from mood swings due to a hormonal imbalance and prescription drugs.
