Comment: The choice of director and to bring back a very particular view of the short life of poet John Keats, where the poet lived a passionate and tormented love affair. And the link will die, undermined by so many difficulties, the latter of which is impossible to escape. The economic Keats does not seem to be an obstacle in the eyes of Fanny Brawne, played by a brilliant Abbie Cornish. His deep love always manages to look beyond these barriers affecting
but Keats, who seems to be more anchored to the ground and look more consciously to their situation. Although the adverse circumstances of life osteggino to separate the two lovers finally, their love endures and lives, then as today, in their place. Features not new in the style of Campion, who with the focus on female characters in his films, seems to reveal some feminist stance. The Campion makes the events to alternate the rhymes of the poet of love so that all proceed almost like a ballad. And the title of one of these rhymes and resumed the title of the film: Bright Star (Star Light), poem dedicated to his beloved Fanny.
