The Laureate

The film delves into the complexities of love and artistic ambition during a vibrant yet turbulent era. Robert Graves, a British War Poet, navigates his marriage and fatherhood while engaging in a romantic relationship with American writer Laura Riding. Their arrangement challenges societal norms, resulting in a unique living situation that escalates with the arrival of Irish poet Geoffrey Phibbs.

As the dynamics shift within this menage a trois, and later a menage a quatre, tensions rise and lead to dramatic consequences. The Laureate offers a rich narrative filled with passion, rivalry, and the pursuit of artistic expression amidst the backdrop of the 1920s. With a talented cast including Tom Hughes and Dianna Agron, this film presents a striking portrayal of a lesser-known chapter in literary history.
