An update on the Cannes Film
Festival contains some interesting news on a new film on the Life of the Poet .. John Keats
and this film is directed by Jane Campion New Zealand born! I often wonder why we have to wade throught ehe birthplace of the filmmaker other than make a point about the nationality or which country the film is representing instead of a long drawn on link on place of birth. I suppose its happening everywhere.
Meanwhile, the Film - Bright Star - is about the great romantic poet John Keats and his relationship with Fanny Brawn in 1818. The point made is that when Keats was 25 years of age he wrote some of his most famous poems .. Ode to a Nightingale and Ode to a Grecian Urn ... The film is concerned with the love story between Keats and Fanny Brawn .. great work!
