Risqué stills from Keira Knightley’s upcoming film have been released, showing the actress being spanked by her co-star.

Set in the early 1900s, 26-year-old star is seen dressed in a white corseted dress as she is belted by actor Michael Fassbender, who plays her psychiatrist in the sexually-charged project.

The two are then shot in a passionate love scene in the film based around the psychiatrist’s turbulent relationship with Knightley’s character and his mentor Sigmund Freud.

A Dangerous Method is a David Cronenberg-directed film that takes a look at the intense relationship between psychiatrist Carl Jung (Fassbender) and Sigmund Freud, played by Viggo Mortensen.







Knightley plays Sabina Spielrein – a beautiful young woman who comes between the two medical professionals.

In the film based on a true story, Jung and Freud give birth to the discipline of psychoanalysis and discover clinical methods of investigating the mind whilst becoming caught up in a love triangle.

Set in Austria, Keira plays a Russian patient who was beaten as a child by her father and as an adult has been repressing sexual desires of being hit by a man.

She is recommended by her psychiatrist not to repress her desires and ends up embarking on a relationship with Fassbender’s character.

After completing filming on the upcoming flick, Keira is now currently shooting Seeing a Friend for the End of the World in Miami.
