Additional InformationThe tragic but intensely passionate love affair between Romantic poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw - PERFUME: THE STORY OF A MURDERER, I'M NOT THERE) and the radiant Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish - CANDY, A GOOD YEAR) is detailed in this moving period drama from critically acclaimed writer/director Jane Campion (THE PIANO, IN THE CUT). BRIGHT STAR, which screenplay was penned by Campion herself, is mostly based on John KeatsÆs biography by poet laureate Sir Andrew Morton. The film centres on the three year relationship between Keats, then a struggling poet, and the girl next door, Frances Brawn. The two fell profoundly in love and many of KeatsÆs compositions of the time - most notably the poem BRIGHT STAR - were inspired by the tender passion they shared. The loversÆ fate, though, was soon tested by KeatsÆs poverty and worsening health, circumstances that inevitably tried their bond.
ReviewsThe Los Angeles Times - Masterfully put-together, made with confidence, intelligence and command., Empire - Campion has created another resonant paean to loveÆs pain and joy, and gives new life to John Keats, too often now associated with dusty school books, The New York Times - Ms. Campion, with her restless camera movements and off-center close-ups, films history in the present tense, and her wild vitality makes this movie romantic in every possible sense of the word., San Francisco Chronicle - A fine-boned, luminous tribute to Keats and the sufferings of love., The New Yorker - What makes the movie extraordinary, however, is not so much the portrait of a poet as the accuracy and the detail of the period re-creation.
