★★★☆☆Dylan Thomas' first jaunt to America is explored in Andy Goddard's understated but likable Set Fire to the Stars (2014). The centenary of Thomas' birth this year means we're also getting an adaptation of Under Milk Wood to come - directed by Kevin Allen and reportedly starring Rhys Ifans and Charlotte Church - but this melancholic picture, filmed in South Wales, should make a fine addition to contemporary reflections on the famously roguish poet. Former Hobbit Elijah Wood plays John M. Brinnin, a buttoned-up creative writing tutor at an austere East Coast university who nevertheless invites the rambunctious Welshman to the States for a 40-night tour in 1950.
