Those Crazy Victorian Poets
Possession is a film about an American scholar working over in London for a professor who seems to have a royal high opinion of himself and he and a biographer of some 19th century British poet and who seem to feel they have exclusive custody of his legend such as it is. The poet was known for his filial devotion to his wife of many years.

Our American Aaron Eckhardt however gets a hold of a letter which implies a relationship with a female poet of the same era. That particular poet is a little less known, but among her followers she has a reputation as a feminist icon and a lesbian. He goes to another scholar Gwyneth Paltrow who specializes in the feminist and they begin a hunt through both the records and the places of encounter they’ve documented.

The romance part of Possession I get. Paltrow and Eckhardt are as civilized a pair of lovers you’ll ever meet. Their romantic scenes are tastefully and exquisitely handled. So are the Victorian flashback sequences of Jeremy Northam and Jennifer Ehle.

Academicians at least as I’ve always pictured them are in a search for the truth. Those opposing Paltrow and Eckhardt seem to have a big vested interest in keeping the images of the two poets as they’ve come down in history as they are. Why we the audience should care is another matter. It’s kind of like The Fountainhead where some kind of popular movement is started against Howard Roarke and his ideas even though I daresay 96% of the population could give a ringy rat’s rectum about architectural styles or the reputations of two 19th century poets.

To put it in popular terms it would be like Abraham Lincoln scholars discovering letters showing he had a passionate affair with Clara Barton during the Civil War. Interesting and even titillating if something like that was discovered.

Possession succeeds on the romantic, but kind of falls down on the realistic.
