Bright Star Giveaway
“A thing of beauty is a joy forever.
Its loveliness increases; it shall never
Pass into nothingness…” (John Keats)
As a lit lover how could I go past a movie about one of the greatest romantic poets of all time?! If you haven’t heard about it yet, here is the preview for the film Bright Star, plus a few other gorgeous features you might like to check out! (If it doesn’t load below, please try refreshing your browser…)
This is not a film about the tragic death of John Keats at the age of 25, but rather the story of the love that brought him to life. Told through the eyes of Fanny Brawne (played superbly by Aussie actress Abbie Cornish), Bright Star is a stunning period piece. The script is sublime, and the breathtakingly beautiful garden scenes directed by Jane Campion (The Piano) had me swooning. Literary buffs and romantics alike will not want to miss this film.
Bright Star opens in cinemas on Boxing Day, but thanks to Hopscotch Films I was able to see a pre-screening – and I also have 5 double passes to give away!
