Bright Star is the story of the secret love affair between 23-year-old English poet John Keats and the outspoken girl-next-door, Fanny Brawne. Ben Whishaw and Abbie Cornish lay the unlikely lovers, and Jane Campion, director of The Piano, helms this sumptuous drama. Todd Hatton speaks with Larry Thomas about Bright Star, on offer at Paducah's Maiden Alley Cinema this week.
