RWV Kanopy Movie Group Discussion

Movie this Month: Colette (2017) After marrying a successful Parisian writer known commonly as "Willy" (Dominic West), Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette (Keira Knightley) 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. Colette‘s fight over creative ownership and gender roles drives her to overcome societal constraints, revolutionizing literature, fashion and sexual expression.

Join us for a discussion of Colette. Watch the movie via the web application "Kanopy" and bring your comments and insights to the discussion.

Kanopy is free through the Multnomah or Washington County library websites. For more information about how to sign up for Kanopy and to gain access to the link to the Kanopy Zoom discussion, click on this event.
