I remember now the name of that film: Reuben, Reuben, with Tom Conti.
Actually, I liked it.
There aren't many films about poets set in contemporary times, are there? I
think a 80s film by Woody Allen had Diane Keaton as a poet. BBC2 did have a
half hour comedy a few years ago about two performance poets in London.
