Bleecker Street has released the first trailer for the true-story drama Colette, which debuted at the Sundance film festival earlier this year to rave reviews. Directed by Wash Westmoreland (Still Alice), the film stars Keria Knightley as Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, a whip-smart woman who moves from rural France to the artistic splendor of Paris after marrying successful writer Willy (Dominic West). Willy subsequently convinces Colette to ghostwrite a book for him, and her semi-autobiographical novel becomes a smash hit. But the success complicates both the couple’s relationship and Colette’s life, as gender roles, sexuality, and societal constraints are questioned.

Written by Wash Westmoreland, Richard Glatzer, and Rebecca Lenkiewicz, the film also stars Denise Gough, Fiona Shaw, Robert Pugh, Masayoshi Haneda and Eleanor Tomlinson. DoP is Giles Nuttgens (Hell or High Water). Colette opens in theaters on September 21st.

Damn... This actually looks really good. Like Big Eyes but without Burton's flare along with more depth.

They say Knightley's work could earn her another Oscar Nomination.

IN.

Wouldn't be surprised if Keira nabs an Oscar Nom.
