A young artist, imprisoned within the trammels of opium addiction, relives his phantasmagorical courtship with a mysterious Soprano known only as Ligeia. While exploring these opium induced memories, the lines dividing reality and fantasy, memory and hallucination, begin to blur into an indecipherable labyrinth of obsession and despair. Though he is nursed back to health by a new love, the Lady Rowena, the haunting of Ligeia's memories as well as the spirits of Azrael and Nehushtan, continue to plague his mind and soul. Will the young artist move past his attachment to opium's bliss and his obsession with the deceased Ligeia, or will he succumb to the serpent's kiss of the opium pipe?

Notes

My quick rating - 6,0/10. Merely rating this as a book being told visually. I would be willing to bet much if not all of the narration is line by line from Poe's work. So don't expect any fancy effects or great acting. It feels like a stage play version and very well might have been at first. Drop a couple bucks into it and expand it out to a film. Why not? Again, not really the best movie but it is a good love story. I say that because you need to know how Poe writes. Almost always is about love. Another thing to realize about his works. Back then opium was a real problem. For him, and everyone around him. So being high was part of it.
