The Romantic Period in literature is a personal point of fascination for me, but this movie increased my interest.
Sometimes, in the technology-ridden world we live in, it can be difficult for us to experience an all-enveloping passion for life. This movie helps even the most tuned-out person glimpse into the heart of the Romantic sensibility.
The romance between Keats and Brawne sparkles (not flame hot, but smoldering throughout; intense sensuality, not lustful sexuality) and is equally matched by several superb readings of Keats's major poems. Neither overshadows the other, whilst each complementing the other exquisitely.
