The Edge of Love (15) starring Sienna Miller, Kiera Knightley, Matthew Rhys

A beautifully drawn love story, The Edge of Love revolves around two feisty, free-spirited women, Caitlin Thomas and Vera Phillips, Vera's husband William Killick, and the brilliant, charismatic poet Dylan Thomas, who loves both women.

Broken promises, passion, betrayal, the shadow of war and the constant threat of imminent death push the protagonists to the edge.

The film explores the bohemian underworld of war-torn London, and the intimate complexities of two young couples whose lives and loves become dangerously intertwined.

It's a handsomely photographed film with fractured and distorted images, suggesting splintering bonds and fragile mental states. ; both the production and the costume design are spot-on, evoking an appropriately free-spirited squalor. . . Sienna Miller brings a damaged intensity to her performance - Caitlin's desolate anguish when she realises that her husband and her friend have betrayed her is uncomfortably raw and messy. The warm, instinctive connection between the two women makes their friendship as intense as any love affair.

We are absolutely delighted that Colin and Chris Clark have invited us to use their shop for a week commencing on the evening of 29th November, the night of the Odiham Extravanganza.

This shop at 74 High Street, Odiham (next to the Dress Agency) will provide an excellent opportunity to pick up a bargain in time for Christmas. We will be selling bric-a-brac, gifts, books, electrical items including a Yamaha electronic piano, small pieces of furniture and just a few items of clothing. There will also be a lucky dip and raffle.

Don’t miss out on this one-off occasion!

Pay us a visit between 10.00 am and 4.00 pm.
Funds raised during the week will be split 50/50 between the Neurofibromatosis Association and OCHRE.
If you have any enquiries please contact Tricia Stephens, NfATricia@aol.com, 01256 702197 or Helen Smith, HelenSmith204@aol.com , 01256 702885.
