Hasta La Ideas

I am eager to see Jane Campion’s latest film, Bright Star (2009) which explores the torrid 3 year romance between the 19th century English poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne. Ben Whishaw and Abbie Cornish play the young lovers.

Judging by the film stills, it looks to be a lush romance and a lavish period piece.

Check out the film’s crafty on line production scrapbook which features rehearsal and location photographs, letters and archival material used in the film, actor’s notes, and much more.

As well, the gloriously handsome Whishaw discusses his performance in an articulate, engaging interview with the Guardian.
