WALLA & Friends Film Series - TONIGHT - Monday, March 1 @ 6:45 PM - Bright Star
Updated February 28, 2010
Writer/director Jane Campion films history in the present tense, and
her wild vitality makes this movie romantic in every possible sense of
the word. Bright Star is an affecting and deeply considered study of
the last years in the short life of John Keats, and the ecstasy of loss
which suffuses his love affair with Fanny Brawne - a love thwarted not
due to illness, but to a pernicious web of money worries, social
scruples and irrelevant male loyalties.
