Brilliantly written 'Bright Star' shows tender humanity

A thing of beauty is a joy forever, and Campion’s story of the tragic love affair of poet John Keats (Wishaw) and Fanny Brawne (Cornish) – he died at the age of 25 from tuberculosis – fits the bill to perfection.

Director: Jane Campion

Cast: Abbie Cornish, Paul Schneider, Ben Wishaw
