As part of a women’s abuse ad campaign, the lovely Keira Knightley portrays a screen actress who lives with a life of physical abuse from a significant other in a video ad released today.
It’s a rather effective ad directed by Atonement and Pride and Prejudice director, Joe Wright. Knightley appears to break the fourth wall claiming that she “didn’t agree to this”, only to find that the violence about to commence is real. The video is quite effective and was made to help with the charity for Women’s Aid and raise awareness on domestic abuse.

Excellent find Andrew. Indeed very effective and also gorgeous. So it looks like Wright *can* direct outside of the period genre (even if it sounds like The Soloist is depressingly disappointing).
as a work, is very good made, but is disturbing. I suppose that if I feel it, that means is really good!
