10 Modern Romance Movies Inspired by Real Love Stories

Miranda Otto portrays American poet Elizabeth Bishop in this moving biopic, which is as much about her relationship with Brazilian architect Lota de Macedo Soares (Glória Pires) as it is about her career. While the two women had a torrid love affair in the '50s and '60s, the later years of their relationship were marred by Bishop's alcoholism and Soares's depression. Their relationship ended when Soares committed suicide in 1967.
