Synopsis

Set against the backdrop of early 19th-century England, "A Poet's Revolution" chronicles the tumultuous life of Percy Bysshe Shelley, a man whose unyielding spirit and radical ideas challenge the status quo. The film opens with a glimpse into Shelley’s privileged upbringing, juxtaposed with his burgeoning belief in social justice, personal freedom, and the power of the human spirit. As a young student at Oxford, Shelley faces expulsion for his controversial pamphlet advocating atheism. This sets him on a path of rebellion, ultimately leading him to the revolutionary circles of the Romantic poets. The narrative intertwines his passionate love affair with Mary Godwin, who would become Mary Shelley, and their struggles as they navigate the harsh realities of loss, betrayal, and societal rejection. Through vivid imagery and breathtaking poetry, the film captures Shelley's friendships with fellow poets like Lord Byron and John Keats, portraying the intellectual camaraderie and rivalries that fueled their artistic expressions. As Shelley’s ideals lead him to become an outspoken advocate for political change, his works, including "Ozymandias" and "Prometheus Unbound," challenge tyranny and resonate with the fight for freedom.
