About this movie

Sylvia tells the true story of the passionate but tragic relationship between Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, two of the greatest poets of the 20th Century. Beginning with their courtship as students in Cambridge, the film follows the course of their marriage as it spirals into a vortex of bitterness, infidelity and self-destruction. Ironically, as their relationship and her mental state crumbles, Plath is inspired to produce an astonishing outpouring of work which would make her famous. 2003 Ariel Films Limited., All Rights Reserved.
