After marrying a successful Parisian writer known commonly as “Willy” (Dominic West, The Square), Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (Keira Knightley, The Imitation Game) 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 but their newfound fame triggers clashes over creative ownership. Colette’s fight for acknowledgment defies gender roles and drives her to overcome societal constraints, revolutionizing literature, fashion and sexual expression. Director Wash Westmorland (Still Alice) returns with a deeply satisfying and nuanced biopic of one of literature’s greatest feminists.
