Bright Star

The title of the film alludes to a sonnet written by English poet John Keats at the end of the 1810s during his relationship with Fanny Brawne, a young fashion design student. Keats and Brawne are an anomalous, but inseparable couple. Their love for each other turns into an increasingly intense obsession. The story refers to the poet’s last three years of life, and a large part of the screenplay is based directly on his letters and poems, recited throughout the film.
