A Gem of a Film

January 25th, 2010 · No Comments · Movies

brightstarAhhhh, romance…No visions of Valentine’s Day here, this is the story of the relationship of Romantic poet John Keats and his muse Fanny Brawne.  Bright Star, directed by Jane Campion (who also directed The Piano), is visually beautiful and emotionally involving without being overly dramatic.  Kenneth Turan of the L.A. Times says: “‘Bright Star’ satisfies a hunger we may not have known we had, a hunger for an exquisitely done, emotional love story that marries heartbreaking passion to formidable filmmaking restraint, all in the service of an unapologetically romantic belief in ‘the holiness of the heart’s affections.’”  The DVD will be available on Tuesday, January 26th here at the library.
