Part of the Variety New York Screening Series
Location: Sunshine Cinema, 134 Houston Street, Manhattan*
A romantic drama about the final years of 19th-century poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw), seen through the eyes of his lover, Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish), Jane Campion's acclaimed new film Bright Star was one of the highlights of this year's Cannes Film Festival. Campion, the Academy Award winning director (The Piano), drew from Keats's celebrated love letters to Brawne to create her original screenplay for this intense, visually spellbinding film, which is her first since In the Cut (2003). The screening will be followed by a Pinewood Dialogue with Campion and producer Jan Chapman moderated by Chief Curator David Schwartz. (2009, 119 mins. 35mm print courtesy of Apparition.)
*This is the second of two Bright Star screenings presented by the Museum. The first one is on Monday, September 14 at the Directors Guild Theatre.
