360 Staff Pick: Bright Star
If pale young couples on the misty heath isn’t your cup of Earl Grey, Bright Star will change your mind about British costume dramas. Jane Campion (The Piano) wrote and directed this exquisite film based on the heartbreakingly short life of the poet John Keats and his intense romance with Fanny Brawne. Though its only Oscar nod is for costume design, the writing and the raw emotion of the actors will leave you spellbound.
