Review of The Edge of Love (2008) by Cinema F — 01 Sep 2008
So, the renowned Welsh poet Dylan Thomas was still alive (and kicking) during the Second World War? What a surprise!
The movie featured heavily on the life of the poet who never fought on the battlefields but certainly served his time in the ranks of the heartbreakers and heartbroken.
There were two major women in Thomas' life--Vera, his first love and childhood friend, and Caitlin, his fiery wife. The storyline pretty much revolves around these two women, their love for Dylan and each other. With the introduction of William (Murphy), a soldier who would be the answer to Vera's dreams, a volatile love square is formed that will last for years and test the morals of all those involved.
The film is visually appealing, the acting is solid and the music is moody and understated. And there's another surprise -- KK can sing, as she also does a respectable job at belting out a tune or two.
Overall, the film is quite interesting, and not a bad insight into the subjects behind those immortal poetic lines.
