Review of Colette (2018) by Tvjerry — 16 Oct 2018
Keira Knightley plays the famed Parisian author, who not only created a series of wildly popular and influential novels, but also explored a controversial polyamourous relationship with her husband (Dominic West).
He initially took credit for writing the books, which eventually caused her rebellious spirit to fully ignite. Knightly does fine in the lead. Her costumes are especially attractive. This is more a biography than a romance, depicting their intense love, stormy relationship, creative conflict and period accoutrements with visual appeal and cultural relevance, but not much passion.
May appeal to those who appreciate historical drama.
