The Edge of Love (2008)
Country: GB
Technical: col 110m
Director: John Maybury
Cast: Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller, Matthew Rhys, Cillian Murphy
Synopsis:
During the Blitz a singer meets up with childhood sweetheart Dylan Thomas and forms a triangular sort of friendship with his wife that takes them to Wales to bring up the child she has conceived with a Tommy posted to Greece.
Review:
Ravishing to look at initially (far too much so for the Blitz, one might observe), this tawdry episode in the private life of a famous poet trundles along without giving anyone much to do to earn our interest and engagement. It merely confirms what one always suspected, that the personal lives of great artists stood in inverse proportion to the edifying qualities of their work.
