A few beautiful films

BRIGHT STAR– A drama based on the three-year romance between 19th century poet John Keats and Fanny Brawne, which was cut short by Keats' untimely death at age 25. Directed by Jane Campion. Stars: Abbie Cornish and Ben Whishaw.

LITTLE DORRIT – 2009 Masterpiece Theater production. Really wonderful cast and location, costumes.... as always superb!

SÉRAPHINE is the story of Séraphine Louis aka Séraphine de Senlis, a simple and profoundly devout housekeeper who in 1905 at age 41, self-taught and with the instigation of her guardian angel began painting brilliantly colorful canvases. In 1912 Wilhelm Uhde (Ulrich Tukur), a German art critic and collector discovered her paintings while she worked for him as a maid in his house in Senlis outside Paris. Directed by Martin Provost. Stars: Yolande Moreau and Ulrich Tukur.

JANE EYRE– again a stellar Masterpiece Theater production from 2007. This has become one of my all time favorite versions of this story.
