A Season in Hell (French: Une saison en enfer, Italian: Una stagione all'inferno) is a 1971 French-Italian drama film directed by Nelo Risi.

Verlaine soon realizes that he is dealing with a genius, founder of a new and ruthless model of poetics and writing and is completely entranced, to the point of spending much of his time with him rather than with his wife.

Soon this friendship turns into homosexual love and the people, including his wife, do not look favorably on it, so much so that the two poets are forced to settle in England.

After a few months Verlaine discovers that Arthur has gone to Ethiopia, in Africa, to fulfill his dream.

In the place the poet writes the most beautiful compositions, in the company of a black girl who assists and cares for him, until Rimbaud falls seriously ill.
