After marrying a successful Parisian writer known commonly as Willy, Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette 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 and their adventures inspire additional Claudine novels.

Why watch it

Keira Knightley as the real French writer Colette, premiered at Sundance. It follows her fight to reclaim authorship of the Claudine novels published under her husband's name — and doesn't flinch from her bisexuality, including her relationship with Missy. Knightley, called "magnetic" by critics, is at career-best form.
