This new official featurette of Colette will give you a better understanding of what to expect from the upcoming biography drama movie directed by Wash Westmoreland and starring Keira Knightley:
Colette – What’s the story?
“After marrying a successful Parisian writer known commonly as ‘Willy’ (Dominic West), Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (Keira Knightley) is transplanted from her childhood home in rural France to the intellectual and artistic splendor of Paris. Soon after, Willy convinces Colette to ghostwrite for him. She pens a semi-autobiographical novel about a witty and brazen country girl named Claudine, sparking a bestseller and a cultural sensation. After its success, Colette and Willy become the talk of Paris and their adventures inspire additional Claudine novels. Colette’s fight over creative ownership and gender roles drives her to overcome societal constraints, revolutionizing literature, fashion and sexual expression.”
Colette would indeed be as extraordinary today as she was back then!
Besides Keira Knightley, the cast also includes Dominic West, Denise Gough, Fiona Shaw, Eleanor Tomlinson, Robert Pugh, Ray Panthaki, and Shannon Tarbet.
Release date: September 21, 2018 (in select theaters).
