Love in a Painterly Light
PostedOctober 5, 2009
Kayceebee
from Brooklyn, NY
Jane Campion tells a nuanced, complex story of an overwhelming but doomed love by bathing the protagonists in gorgeous light. Sometimes, Vermeer-like, she highlights her subjects by a window's glow; sometimes, in scenes reminiscent of "Elvira Madigan," they gambol in sun-bathed countryside. Abby Cornish & Ben Whishaw are entirely believable as Fanny and Keats. The early-19th century atmosphere, especially as represented by the fabrics and clothing so important to Fanny, feels genuine. Their textures are so richly shown that you want to touch them. Meanwhile, the story will touch you.
Yes, I recommend this movie.
