I'm no film expert but I really enjoy watching movies and I try to watch a couple of movies every weekend. This weekend I watched Bright Star. Generally, when the Oscar nominees are announced, I comb the list looking for the films that I've missed and then rush to see as many as possible prior to the Oscars so that I can cheer for my favorite film, especially if it is a period piece. I waited for the release dates of Avant Chanel and Young Victoria and loved them both but somehow I missed Bright Star.
This weekend I probably don't have to tell you that Bright Star was on my movie list and it was wonderful. Not only are the costumes beautiful but the performances of Keats, Fanny and Mr. Brown are worth watching. As you can probably imagine, the film was both romantic and sensual. I fell in love with Fanny's bedroom - it looked a bit coastal but I'm guessing that the director was using her room to underscore her purity and innocence with the look of the room. They were such young lovers - he died at twenty-five. If you haven't seen it, this might be one that you want to put in your queue.
I'm adding it to my list this minute. I don't know how I missed it either, as it sounds like something I'd really enjoy. Thanks!

I'm adding this to my list too. The dresses and period clothes are one of my favorite parts of these types of movies. Thanks for mentioning this and for dropping by my blog. Please visit often!

ReplyDeleteHey! Thanks for the invitation to the ATL blogger's get together next time. I've met Susan in person already, but thought I'd tell you that I'm from ATL, so my family is still there (I def. have a place to stay) & I get over there often. It's just hard to have my visits coincide with anything going on. Maybe one of these days, I can meet up with ya'll.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, will have to look this one up! Love the photo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo - wish I were there! I'll have to check out the film. Linda
ReplyDeleteI've missed it too! I saw it in the video store the other day, but had to get a movie for my husband to watch too. I'm looking forward to a girly night when I can really enjoy this pretty one by myself.
