Using privileged access to unpublished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.
