A new movie from Jane Campion is always something to welcome, and this one is even more beautiful and more Keatsy-mopey and more romantic than the trailer suggests. *sigh* It makes me want to go read some early-19th-century poetry...
Bright Star opened yesterday in New York and Los Angeles, expands a bit across the U.S. on September 18, and opens in the U.K. on November 6.

Oh, oh! Anything with Thomas Sangster is worth seeing!

Absolutely! (He doesn't have a huge part, though, so don't go expecting a Sangster-fest.)

Alright, I'm sold. I think this is the first trailer in a very long time (it's been a rather poor summer, film-wise) that really makes me want to see the film. And I find the Romantic poets very interesting as real people ..even more so than their poetry ..Somebody really needs to do a film about Blake ..or about the Shelleys ..instead, we get Trasformers part 3 millions and one.
With so many interesting stories to tell, so many biographies not yet portrayed on screen, I find it very frustrating that Hollywood turns out the same crap every year.
