Inside the Mind of Robert Burns [930389] Released: 2020-01-21 Revenue: $0 Budget: $0 Profit: $0 Runtime: 58 mins Popularity: 0.216 Vote Average: 0 Vote Count: 0 Overview: Writer Alan Bissett explores the complex brain of Robert Burns in a quest to discover the real man behind the myths and reveal the conflicts in his life and work. Burns was a poetic genius, but full of contradictions. He was a lover of women, and an exploiter of them; a Republican firebrand, and a social-climbing government excise man; an advocate of freedom who almost became a Caribbean slave master. Alan examines the groundbreaking research that suggests that the poet suffered from bi-polar disorder, a condition that led him to have severe mood swings.
