19th Century British Poetry 101
PostedSeptember 28, 2009

from Tempe, AZ
"Bright Star" is a beautiful and well acted film, with wonderful scenery and interior lighting reminiscent at times of a Vermeer painting. The details of Keats' life and the use of his poetry will appeal to literary types. The plot is simple: his impoverished circumstances, tragic illness, and untimely death preclude marriage to his great love, Fanny Braune, and lead to prolonged 19th century romantic moping about. It is a movie to be avoided at all costs by those who require complex plot, action, or laughs for their movie enjoyment.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
