Sarah Smart ... Jean Hartley
IMDB Link
Dramatisation of the romantic life and various relationships of poet Philip Larkin, from his arrival as librarian at Hull University in 1955 to his death in 1985.
Using privileged access to unpublished letters and recordings of his work which feature across the soundtrack of the film, Love Again, written by Richard Cottan, examines the last 30 years in the life of the poet from his appointment to Hull University Library to his death from cancer in 1985.
The film centres on Larkin's complex relationships with his mother, Eva, and the three very different women who were his lovers, despite his emotional inability to commit to any of them: Monica Jones, a fellow lecturer who inspired his first published collection of poems, The Less Deceived; Maeve Brennan, a library assistant and strict Catholic; and Betty Mackereth, his stoic secretary.
With new material provided by Maeve Brennan and Jean Hartley (Larkin's former publisher), and with support from the Larkin Society at Hull University, Love Again will be an authentic portrait of one of the foremost figures of 20th century poetry.
Love Again is directed by Susanna White (Emmy-nominated for her documentary about W H Auden, Tell Me The Truth About Love) and produced by Simon Heath.
