The story
behind poet Sylvia Plath.
Christine Jeffs' "Sylvia" is the story of the short life of Plath (1932-1963),
an American who came as a student to Cambridge, met the young poet Ted Hughes
at a party, was kissed by him before the evening had ended, and famously bit
his cheek, drawing blood. It was not merely love at first sight, but passion,
and the passion continued as they moved back to Massachusetts, where she was
from, and where he taught.(Excerpt by Roger Ebert). UK, 2003, in English, color,
110 mins., rated R.
