Colette is the return of Keira Knightley to the period stories that have been a hallmark throughout her career. Remembered for films like "Pride and Prejudice" (2005), "The Duchess" (2008), "Anna Karenina" (2012) or the saga "Pirates of the Caribbean" (2003-2017).
In statements to the press, the British actress confessed not to be comfortable with the scripts that portray modern days: “I always find something distasteful in the way women are portrayed, they are simply there to be the loving girlfriend or wife.”
Something she finds diametrically opposed in historical films: “whereas I’ve always found very inspiring characters offered to me in historical pieces.”
Colette A woman willing to extend the limit of what is possible
When talking about her latest film, where she embodies French writer and actress Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, Knightley is again optimistic about the industry: "Wash (Westmoreland), the director, had been trying to get this movie made for about 15 years. I don’t think it's a surprise that it managed to get funding in the last few years. Women’s stories are suddenly viewed as important." she concluded.
