First Look: The Edge of Love

Now, let's just begin this by saying that I'm not a huge fan of either Keira Knightley or Sienna Miller. But when I caught a glimpse of these stills from their upcoming film together, The Edge of Love, I got that little tickle of fashion inspiration. A kind of biopic about poet Dylan Thomas, Knightley and Miller play his rival muses, and while that's all nice and everything, I think what I'll be digging most is that perfectly British countryside mix of sweaters, floral frocks and Wellies. (My other favorite film with this sort of deshabille-aristo look is I Capture the Castle, based on the charming book by Dodie Smith.) I wouldn't completely write off the film in and of itself, though -- it's directed by John Maybury, who did an idiosyncratic, fascinating movie about painter Francis Bacon, Love is the Devil, which also featured a then relatively-unknown Daniel Craig as one of Bacon's lovers. (This was before Craig got all James Bonded out, of course.)
