The love story of the poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne in early nineteenth-century London.

Sinekatalog’s take

Jane Campion's Keats romance is delicate, sensuous and heartbreaking. Abbie Cornish and Ben Whishaw are lovely, and the film's soft light, fabrics and poetry create an intimate period world.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
