4K distributors have failed John Keats.
On this week's episode of Spineless, Nick and Brennan are joined by Chicago-based critic Marya E. Gates, author of Cinema Her Way, for a discussion of Jane Campion's 2009 film BRIGHT STAR. Your beloved TWO FRIENDS (plus Marya) are absolute SWEETIEs as they discuss THE POWER OF THE DOGgone film, a moving PORTRAIT OF A LADY and her relationship with famed poet John Keats IN THE CUTthroat world of early-nineteenth-century gentility that will make you say HOLY SMOKE! with how good it is. Plus, the debut of a brand-spanking new version of the Spineless theme in tribute to the film's Human Orchestra, which is right for humans and not for THE PIANO. Okay I'm gonna be honest I think I've run out of ways to work Jane Campion movies into the description. There's AN ANGEL AT MY TABLE I guess and that's my beloved laptop from which I record Spineless?
