Was just chatting with my older sister, Rebekah and she told me about this beautiful film called Bright Star. It's about John Keats and I can't wait to see it! Doesn't it look dreamy?

this looks just beautiful... i was wondering, also, if you'd mind terribly if i put a link to frolic on my blog? i've been lurking and loving (though, obvioulsy, in addition being too shy to comment) for about a year, now, and i've just started a blog of my own and would love to have you on my favourites...

I really want to see this movie since seeing it on a few blogs. It has finally started playing here, yeah!

I saw those pictures in a magazine ad and wondered why I hadn't heard of it before. I hope it plays near me soon, I love old-fashioned movies.

Sorry to say, but I don't think I will wait for your return before seeing the film. Looks dreamy.

it's the most beautiful movie i've ever seen! the costumes fanny wears are.... ah! just no words to describe how gorgeous they are. if i ever met the costume designer, i'd just hug her. immediately. to show my appreciation.

I loved the movie. It made me want a cottage with creaky wooden floors and gardens of spring blossoms. One day, one day...

This is definitely something I need to see! Thank you for the tip :)

almost a perfect read on the period and the clothing, and an amazing insight into the beauty and tragedy that surrounded Keats' short life.

chelsea, you'll absolutely love it. I saw it on a friend's recommendation and loved it. romantic, engaging, and visually gorgeous. it was so interesting to find out more about keats and hearing his poetry weaved through the film was fantastic. you'll die with the costumes. I want to go back in time and wear hats and dresses like her for a day!

Posted by: Jen | October 19, 2009 at 07:28 AM

I can't wait to see this one but it's not playing anywhere near us. Darn!

I saw it over the weekend with my mom and sister and we adored it. It was so gorgeous.

One of the best dramas I've seen all year! The cast was amazing, and the music haunting. You should check out the film Bright Star’s official site, where they've announced the Love Letter Contest. Those who enter will have to submit a hand-made love letter or love tweet for their chance to win two unique diamonds from A Diamond Is Forever. Find more details here:

I'm glad Jane campion decided to step back into the director's chair for this one. I don't think anyone else could have captured the heart of the story like her.

I actually had to look up the basis of the story because the previews were so compelling. Besides which, I love the style of the Regency era.

Posted by: ambika | October 23, 2009 at 10:40 AM

yes! it looks so romantic! i can't wait to see it too
