    Storyline

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The location shoot in Budapest was so warm at times, Dominic West wore a water vest inside his heavy costume that functioned like a car radiator, circulating cool water around his upper body. The contraption was recommended to him by John C. Reilly who used such an apparatus while playing the rotund Oliver Hardy in the biopic Stan & Ollie (2018).
    • Goofs
      In the dance studio scene, which takes place in 1904, a pianist is seen playing Golliwog's Cake-walk by Claude Debussy (repeated by orchestra in the soundtrack). The piece was not composed until 1909.
    • Quotes

      Colette: My name is Gabrielle Colette and the hand that holds the pen writes history.

    • Crazy credits
      There is a dedication to Richard Glatzer, who co-wrote the film's screenplay with Wash Westmoreland, shortly before the closing credits: "For Richard".

    Very well done; changing history? Not so nice.
    Very well done, interesting. A nice period piece. However, at the end the director states, after I thought I was watching a movie that was historically accurate, that he had changed several characters and other aspects to make them more contemporary (meaning: what he thinks the way things ought to have been 100+ years ago, vs reality) re: gender, sexual preference, racial matters, etc. As such, the movie to a degree is fiction; a lie. Which is sad, as it detracts from the ground breaking path that Colette lived.

    FAQ1

    • Exactly why were Colette and Missy booed from the stage? I thought Paris was supposed to be wild and free thinking !
