Set Fire to the Stars

2014, Movie, 1h 37min

Winner of three BAFTA Cymru Awards for Original Music, Make-up and Hair, and Production Design. Inspired by a true story… Set in 1950s New York and starring Elijah Wood as John Malcolm Brinnin, the aspiring young American poet who finds his ordered world shaken when he embarks on a week-long retreat to save his hell-raising hero, Dylan Thomas, played by Celyn Jones. Directed by BAFTA-nominated director, Andy Goddard this visually stunning film, shot entirely in black and white monochrome, is a cautionary tale about meeting your heroes, the dirty business of celebrity and about what may have happened in an East Coast boathouse when an earnest ingénue shared cabin space with his idol, the greatest living poet of the twentieth century.
