Byron lives with his ex-wife, her kids, and her boyfriend, and when he's not pursuing his primary passion, women, he spends his time smoking weed and loafing around. But he's grown restless in his middle-age, and he feels the need to escape. He just doesn't know where to go. Filled with a cast of eccentric characters, each pursuing dreams and missions of their own making, LORD BYRON paints a kaleidoscopic portrait of the bizarre and lonely world of its title character, a middle-aged, late-20th century romantic who's confused and torn about his own ambitions and desires. Made on a micro-budget with a cast of non-professional actors from South Louisiana, LORD BYRON combines tragedy with bizarre comedy, naturalistic performances with outright madness.
Leave your thoughts about Lord Byron.

| Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonVacillating between free-associative shtick and complete inertia, Lord Byron is lost in thought and allergic to reason. |
