Movie #155 "Bright Star" or what I would subtitle as "Don't Bother" --- yikes, this is a boring film with no chemistry for the leads. And it's Jane Campion's? THE Jane Campion of "The Piano"???? And I've sat through many a boring film, and I even count "A Room With A View" as watchable and somewhat enjoyable, so I don't think it's me. This film is slow, plodding, dull and I shan't waste any more time in this blog on it! (ooh, Jane Austen would be proud of my last sentence!) If the intent of this film was for the viewer to wish that John Keats would die sooner, then mission accomplished here. I for one don't think I'm going to make it to his death scene. nope, I didn't. turned off at 81 minutes, mid coughing!

Bright Star
(2009) PG
Critically acclaimed Australian filmmaker Jane Campion helms this drama detailing the passionate three-year romance between 19th-century Romantic poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw) -- who died tragically at age 25 -- and his great love and muse, Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish). Much of the story was inspired by Keats's poetry and the actual love letters the pair exchanged. Thomas Sangster, Paul Schneider and Kerry Fox co-star.
