Tarantino loves Jane Campion’s TIFF bound Bright Star
Director and Writer Quentin Tarantino was first in Cannes this year with box-office smash Inglourious Basterds. Tarantino was recently asked by L.A. Weekly what some of the better films he saw at the Cannes Film Festival, “I was a big fan of Jane Campion’s Bright Star, I think it’s her best movie. I got caught up in the seriousness of the poetry, and I don’t mind the chaste stuff,” he said.
Campion brings Bright Star to Toronto next. TIFF should be a good week for Campion’s films, besides Bright Star, Canadian actress and filmmaker Sook-Yin Lee will present a screening of Jane Campion’s first theatrical and groundbreaking feature, Sweetie.

I will definitely go see Jane Campion’s new film Bright Star when it opens in theaters next Friday (Sept. 18th). The visuals look amazing, and the music is truly haunting. I have always thought Abbie Cornish was a talented actress, and I think this may be the film to push her career even further. Here’s a great clip I found from the movie.

Definitely captures the ghostly atmosphere I’ve come to expect from Campion.
