Okay, so imagine Keira Knightley in peak period drama form, but this time she's not just wearing pretty dresses; she's low-key simmering with rage. Colette is all about a woman who creates a literary sensation, only for her husband to take all the credit. Watch her slowly, beautifully, reclaim her voice and her identity, even when everyone around her is trying to shut her down. The queer vibes are immaculate, and the fashion is *everything*.
Colette tells the true story of Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, a country girl who marries the renowned Parisian writer Willy. After moving to the vibrant intellectual scene of Paris, Willy persuades her to ghostwrite a novel under his name. Her semi-autobiographical series about the daring Claudine character becomes a scandalous bestseller, making them the talk of the city. The film follows Colette's fight for creative ownership and her burgeoning self-discovery in a restrictive society.
