“Colette is the Best, Most Lavish Period Movie in Years” – Observer.
“Keira Knightley shines as a racy writer wronged” - The Guardian.
“A radiant, riveting Keira Knightley meets every challenge the title role of French novelist Colette throws at her” – Rolling Stone.

Colette is an early-years biopic of French literary phenomenon that is invigorating, mercenary and sexy. It busies itself with sex and fame – and also something rarely acknowledged in detail in costume dramas about writers: money. This is the story of how talented young author and country mouse Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (played with wand-like grace by Keira Knightley) submits in 1893 to marriage and commercial exploitation by an older man from the big city, the mediocre and flatulent critic-slash-publisher Henri Gauthier-Villars, pen-named “Willy”.
He brings out her wildly popular Claudine novels (racy autobiographical adventures of girlish yearning) under his own name, without giving his wife a smidgen of the acclaim rightly owing to her, still less any loot. Willy is played with a smirk and a goatee by Dominic West, who also, importantly, endows him with bullish charm.
