Yes, that’s what it’s about. It’s about *Fanny*, actually. Keats is ‘just the love interest’. ;)

I don’t know how historically accurate it is, but I feel like you’d enjoy it if you like his writing. Excellent use of the letters, and being directed by Jane Campion, visually stunning.

I have not seen Bright Star; actually, I really like Keats and don’t necessarily want to see something that will make me think of him as Edward Cullen.

I have read some of the letters between he and Fanny Brawne, which is what I gather the film is based on, yes?

Thank you!

Did you see ‘Bright Star’? It kind of proved that Romantic poets were the sparklepires of their day, and no woman with a sense of self-preservation should go near them. BUT it did make nice use of actual letters and poetry, so that was fun :)
