Director Jane Campion (The Piano) brings us an intelligent and beautiful story of the passionate love between poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne.

John Keats’ love for Fanny Brawne inspired some of the most beautiful love letters ever written, and coincided with a remarkable period of creativity. While living next door to her in Hampstead between 1819 and 1820, he produced several of his most notable poems. When the impoverished writer first met Fanny, an outspoken devotee of fashion, he described her as a minx; she in turn thought his poems ‘a strain to work out’. But an intense love affair flourished between the two, curtailed by Keats’ untimely death at the age of 25.
