This Oscar nominated film is an affecting and deeply considered study of the last years in the short life of poet John Keats (Ben Whilshaw).
It begins with a cold stand-off between Keats and girl-next-door Fanny Brawne (Abbie Cornish), but when she asked to be taught about poetry it became a romantic remedy that worked not only to sort out their differences, but also to fuel an impassioned love affair - a love affair thwarted not only by illness but by a pernicious web of money worries, social scruples and irrelevent male loyalties .
This heartfelt film has a nobility of its own and responds to Keats' life and work with intelligence and grace.
Winner of 2009 British Independant Film Award for best technical achievement - cinematography

Director So Yong Kim - a semi-autobiographical tale that packs an emotional punch.
Two little girls are abandoned by their mother to live with their neglectful, alcoholic aunt who shows litttle interest in the emotional needs of her two neices. Deprived of parental affection and behavioral boundaries they're left largely to their own devices.
Matters improve when they're marched off to their grandparents' farm and finally they locate a kindred spirit in their sagacious grandmother whose inconspicious fondness for the pair comes across as a defiant act of cross-generational empowerment.
