Last night I watched this most wonderful film and felt that I just had to tell everyone about it, I can't recommend it enough, especially if you like poetry, beautiful scenery and fabulous costumes!
Look at this most beautiful costume such a vivid pink wouldn't it be so romantic (if unpractical)to wear such clothes today!
This is just a few of the images, there is a lovely one at the beginning of the film showing you rows and rows of white linen on the washing line.
Such a shame he died so young at 25 and was so poor. I believe you can stay at Keats House with the Landmark Trust in Rome. Nice romantic retreat although she didn't go with him!
Definitely a film to keep watching! Do go and see it if you can or buy the DVD.
Oh Jill, I loved this film and saw it twice - once at the cinema and then on DVD. Such wonderful images and music, and I love Keats' poetry.

I watched this movie a couple of months ago and really enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI am so pleased you mentioned this film.. I saw it a few weeks ago and found it profoundly moving.. it haunted me for days. Stunningly visual, exquisite detail and a heartbreaking script... a recipe for probably the finest film I have ever seen.
