Today The Edge Of Love, a new film starring Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller is being released in the UK. Knightley and Miller play two friends who are vying for the love of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, who is played by Matthew Rhys. The movie has been warmly received by fans and critics at a number of major film festivals, and the performances of both Knightley and Miller are being touted by many as their best on-screen work.

The writer of the script for The Edge Of Love is Sharman Macdonald, who is also Keira Knightley’s mother. The movie calls on Knightley to appear nude in a sex scene, and in an interview published on the Telegraph.co.uk, the 23-year-old British actress talked about performing in a sex scene written by her own mother.

“It certainly didn’t worry me that my mother actually knows what sex is,” joked Knightley. “You’re not really going to get out of the fact that there is going to be sex involved in it.” And on the subject of appearing topless in the scene– “It was very simple. It was a sex scene and I never like them when they’ve got bras on. He (director John Maybury) said, ‘Take your bra off,’ and I said, ‘All right then.’”

The Edge Of Love does not have an American release date at this time.
