Bright Star Thursday February 18, 4pm $10 First Love Burns Brightest. The 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. The year is 1818, and poet John Keats (Ben Whishaw) is unable to shake feelings of failure, teaming up with friend Charles Armitage Brown (Paul Schneider) to work on their creative temperaments. Enjoying annual residence with the Brawne family, John takes a special shine to seamstress Fanny (Abbie Cornish), and the two commit to a dance of unconsummated passion, holding their affection in private. As time passes, John comes to the realization that he’s unable to marry due to his crushing debt, leaving Fanny in a state of shock, unable to cope with life without her beloved writer. Nominated for 10 awards including Canne Film Festival for Golden Palm Award. Rating: PG. Time: 119 min
