A beautiful period drama film, with Keira Knightley giving her finest performance. Colette (Keira Knightley) is transplanted from her childhood home in rural France to the intellectual and artistic splendour of Paris.
Soon after, her husband Willy (Dominic West) convinces Colette to ghost-write for him. Colette, in turn, pens a semi-autobiographical novel about a witty and brazen country girl named Claudine, sparking a bestseller and a cultural sensation. After it’s success, Colette and Willy become the talk of Paris and their adventures inspire additional Claudine novels.
Certificate 15
Guardian**** “Keira Knightley delivers a playfully sly, subtly nuanced performance… Beautifully shot by cinematographer Giles Nuttgens, .. Colette convincingly conjures a late-19th/early-20th century milieu, to which it adds a thoroughly modern sensibility.”
