Yesterday I attended the pre-release of Jane Campion’s new movie Bright Star, filmed in London’s Hampstead Heath. The scenery is perfect as the setting for a period romance and the costumes gorgeous. I thought the standout performer was Abbie Cornish, a young, beautiful and talented Australian actress who was perfect for the role of Fanny Brawne, John Keats’ next door neighbour. The movie is the story of their doomed love affair during which Keats wrote some of his most lauded poetry. There is no sex and no violence, a rarity in movies to-day. In no way does this take away from this powerful and touching rendition made all the more fascinating because everyone knows what is going to happen in the end.
