Keira Knightley has revealed that she had fun shooting David Cronenberg's film A Dangerous Method.
The actress said that she felt lucky to be filming the movie alongside co-stars Viggo Mortensen and Michael Fassbender because they made the subject matter easier to deal with.
She told New York magazine: "It's really bizarre, because the actual process of making the movie was the opposite of what you might think.
"David Cronenberg is one of the loveliest, most interesting, most supportive men ever - as are Viggo and Michael - so I felt incredibly lucky to be with them, because it is quite harrowing subject matter.
"With other people, you could be in a nasty situation where it's quite gruelling, whereas this honestly was one of the most fun experiences I've had making a film."
Knightley went on to say that she did not sympathise with her character in the movie.
She said: "You know, quite often when you play roles, you have some sort of emotional connection with the character and you understand them at some level, but with this one, I really didn't.
"I had absolutely no idea, and I had to desperately try not to judge it, particularly her sexual, S&M side and why somebody would want that when it's not my cup of tea."
