Synopsis

Set against the backdrop of the early 19th century, this biopic chronicles the rise of George Gordon, Lord Byron, from a troubled aristocratic youth to a global cultural icon. Known for his striking good looks, cutting wit, and rebellious spirit, Byron's meteoric literary success was matched only by the intensity of his scandals. The film explores Byron’s tempestuous romantic and platonic relationships that made him notorious in high society. It delves into his controversial love affairs, including the rumors of incest with his half-sister and his love for fellow poet Percy Bysshe Shelley. As Byron flees England amid mounting scandal, the story takes viewers through his adventures across Europe, his political involvement in revolutionary causes, and ultimately his tragic quest for heroism in Greece, where he sought to fight for Greek independence. More than a portrait of a man, Byron is a vivid exploration of creativity, excess, and the fine line between self-destruction and genius. With sweeping landscapes, romantic entanglements, and poignant moments of solitude, the film captures the depth of a poet whose legacy was as fiery as his verse.

Description of John William Polidori:

John William Polidori was a British writer and physician. He is known for his associations with the Romantic movement and is credited by some as the creator of the vampire genre of fantasy fiction. His most successful work was the short story "The Vampyre" (1819), the first published modern vampire story. Although the story was at first erroneously credited to Lord Byron, both Byron and Polidori affirmed that the author was Polidori.
