Jane Campion's work is, in the best sense of the word, visceral. I'm glad she stuck to Keats' story. Her perception of the world lifted him up and reintroduced him. Beautiful images, realistic emotions, and of course excellent sets and costumes. It is a joy to experience such melancholy. I am looking forward to adding John Keats' letters and poems to Fanny Brawne in my library alongside Mozart's letters to Constance.
