Colette tells the true story of Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, a Parisian writer who rises to fame after her husband Willy publishes her serialized stories under his name. As she asserts her artistic voice in fin‑de‑siècle France, she navigates love, independence, and the constraints of a male‑dominated society. It follows her evolution from a provincial debutante to a celebrated author, exploring creativity, feminism, and fame with wit, intimacy, and lush period detail. Keira Knightley anchors the film with a poised, nuanced performance.
