The Edge Of Love
In a searingly romantic tale this film tells of the passion and pathos of legendary poet Dylan Thomas through the lifes of two feisty, free-spirited women; Vera Killick (Knightley) and Caitlin Thomas (Miller). Vera and Dylan were teenage lovers, but both now find themselves in romantic turmoil. He is now married to the adventurous Caitlin, and she marries her devoted admirer William Killick. However she can't deny the chemistry between herself and Dylan, nor does she want to - even if it means betraying Caitlin. Despite their romantic rivalry, the women form a surprising friendship. When William is posted abroad, and a pregnant Vera returns to Wales with her married friends, the battle between her heart and her head becomes more intense. Desire and guilt are complicated by love and friendship in this real-life tale set in war-ravaged London and the majestic Welsh countryside. Lust, deception, the constant shadow of war and the constant threat of imminent death push the protagonists to THE EDGE OF LOVE. THE EDGE OF LOVE is directed by the award-winning John Maybury (Love is the Devil, The Jacket) and produced by Rebekah Gilbertson and Sarah Radclyffe. The screenplay is by Sharman MacDonald. The impressive production team includes Director of Photography Jonathan Freeman (Hollywoodland, Rome), Academy Award nominated Costume Designer April Ferry (Southland Tales, Donnie Darko), Production Designer Alan MacDonald (The Queen, Love is the Devil) and editor Emma Hickox (Becoming Jane, Kinky Boots), with music by Angelo Badalamenti (Twin Peaks, Wild at Heart, Mulholland Drive, A Very Long Engagement).
