I know it’s a period piece, but the reviews circulating in print this week are calling Bright Star a hit… it lets us rediscover the thrills of poetry, played with mesmerizing vitality and heart-stopping grace by Abbie Cornish and exhilarating, and deeply pleasurable.
Bright Star is the story of the intense love affair between the young poet John Keats and his younger neighbor, Fanny Brawne. Their story is a love story of non-traditional sorts. Keats after all, is an impoverished writer who has contracted tuberculosis. Their love is never consummated, and Keats will ultimately die at the young age of twenty-five. His love for Brawne inspires some of his greatest poetry.
You can check out the official movie site here. I’m anxious to see this movie.
