BRIGHT STAR

Sebuah kisah di kota London tahun 1818, sebuah percintaan antara John Keats, seorang penyair dengan gadis tetangganya, Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish) seorang mahasiswa jurusan busana. Awalnya kisah mereka dimulai ketika Keats meremehkan kepandaian Fanny karena ia percaya bahwa Fanny tidak tertarik pada sastra. Namun, Fanny berusaha membantu keluarga Keats ketika saudara John sakit parah, dan sebagai tanda terima kasih, John bersedia mengajarkan puisi sehingga membawa Fanny dan John saling jatuh cinta. Meskipun mereka ingin menikah, masalah finansial dan mitra John (Paul Schneider) yakin bahwa Fanny tidak lebih dari gangguan yang tidak diinginkan berusaha agar tidak pernah akan pernikahan diantara mereka.

London, 1818 – a secret love affair begins between 23-year-old English poet John Keats and the girl next door, Fanny Brawne, an outspoken student of fashion. This unlikely pair started at odds; he thinking her a stylish minx, she unimpressed by literature in general. But when Keats's younger brother falls ill John and Fanny are drawn together. Keats, touched by Fanny's efforts to help care for his brother, agrees to teach her poetry.

By the time Fanny's alarmed mother (Kerry Fox) and Keats's best friend Charles Armitage Brown (Paul Schneider) realize their attachment, the relationship had an unstoppable momentum. Intensely and helplessly absorbed in each other, the young lovers were swept into powerful new sensations: "I have the feeling as if I were dissolving," Keats wrote to her. Together they rode a wave of romantic obsession that deepened as their troubles mounted. Only Keats's own fatal illness proved insurmountable.
