Knightley fights for literary ownership in feminist drama
    2018-07-13  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

“THE hand that holds the pen writes history,” Keira Knightley states defiantly in the closing shot of the first trailer for Bleecker Street’s upcoming literary biopic “Colette.”

In the film, Knightley plays Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, a French novelist who overcomes the constraints of society to later become a Nobel Prize-nominated author.

After marrying charismatic Parisian writer Henry Gauthier-Villars (Dominic West), Colette abandons her life in rural France to move to Paris, where her creative abilities are sparked. Her husband, known under the pen name Willy, recruits Colette to ghostwrite a novel to be published under his name. When her works garner huge success, Colette strives to break out of the literal and metaphorical confines her abusive husband yields upon her.

In the trailer, Knightley is shown breaking free of societal molds in more ways than one, as she also pursues a sexual relationship with a cross-dressing woman.

“Colette,” which premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, is being discussed as a potential Oscar contender.

The film is set for release in North America on Sept. 21. (SD-Agencies)
