'Education,' 'Moon' Among British Indie Film Nominees
Thursday, October 29, 2009 at 7:40AM
The British Independent Film Awards nominations prominently feature three movies with female directors. The one
that will probably have the most staying power in the US gold derby is An Education, featuring the star-making turn by Carey Mulligan. That film joins Jane Campion's Bright Star and Fish Tank by Andrea Arnold in the Best Independent
category, along with Moon, the young John Lennon bio-pic Young Boy, and the political comedy In the Loop.

Bright Star has to be one of the best dramas I've seen all year! The cast was amazing, and the music haunting. Here's a great interview I found with Abbie Cornish talking about her character in the film, and how she turned to Keats' original poetry to answer questions during filming. You can find it here:

I'm glad Jane campion decided to step back into the director's chair for this one. I don't think anyone else could have captured the heart of the story like her.
