Bright Star.

I first read about the film, Bright Star, on Erika Michel's blog Chicas Vintage, but never thought I'd be able to watch it because I doubted very much that'd it'd be released here. Luckily, it was on the playlist on my flight back from London!
It's the love story between John Keats and Fanny Brawne. About loyalty, passion, trust, patience.
It truly is one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.

It's actually up for an Oscar nomination for Best Costume and rightly so!
Check out some of the costumes featured in the film:
There is something about Ben Whishaw's face that makes me fall in love with any character he plays
(yes, even the maniac murderer in Perfume).
There was one scene in particular, that just took my breath away.
Fanny was sitting up on her bed, just staring out the window as the curtains blew toward her.
If you haven't seen it yet, I urge you to go watch it. It's simply beautiful.
I'm trying to find a copy of it on DVD now, it'll be one of those movies I could just watch over and over.
