The highly-anticipated John Keats bio-pic "Bright Star" had its US premiere in New York Monday night.

Joining director Jane Campion were the film's stars Ben Whishaw (Keats), Abbie Cornish (Keats' love Fanny Brawne) and a scene-stealing Paul Schneider (Keats' friend Charles Armitage Brown).

Others who came to Vanity Fair-hosted bash were Sofia Coppola, Joel Coen, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Harvey Keitel and Fran Drescher, whose black top went sheer under flashbulbs.

"Bright Star" opens September 16.

Marshall Fine: HuffPost Review: Bright Star

Campion's film Bright Star is about the love of beauty -- particularly the ability of poetry to move the soul -- and about longing.
Dan Persons

Dan Persons: Mighty Movie Podcast: Ben Whishaw and Paul Schneider on Jane Campion's Bright Star

The film, in short, is sweet, sad, and moving but with Campion's astringent edge keeping the proceedings from lapsing into sentimentality. And that makes all the difference.
Regina Weinreich

Regina Weinreich: Bright Star Shines Brightly

Given the emotion of the love story, Keats with his Fanny Brawne, the movie is chaste, with a PG rating; no bodies writhing suggestively, and yet the screen quivers with repressed longing.

I will definitely go see Jane Campion's new film Bright Star when it opens in theaters this Friday (Sept. 18th). The visuals look amazing, and the music is truly haunting. You should check out the film's official site, where they just announced the Love Letter Contest. Those who enter will have to submit a hand-made love letter or love tweet for their chance to win two unique pieces of jewelry from A Diamond Is Forever. Runners up will receive a fountain pen from Montblanc. Find more details here:

Not bad for an older chick! I mean that to be someone who has passed their 20's.

No. Cheap floosy works just fine.

She didn't wear a bra with those sagging melons because she knew the shirt would be see-thru under the flash and she wanted the attention. Cheap and sad.

Now Jennifer Jason Leigh, that's a hellofan actress. Very underrated and unappreciated.
