Movie “Colette” coming in September starring Keira Knightley!

From her marriage at the age of 20, until her divorce, this snapshot of Colette's life focuses on her formative years. Incredibly complex, powerfully determined, truly gifted, Colette challenged herself to reinvent her life and assert herself as a free woman. In her day, her behavior scandalized and vexed the establishment. But in the end, she helped to free women in their thinking and became member and then president of France's prestigious Académie Goncourt, among many other honors as one of France's preeminent authors. For mature readers.

"The trailer is out for the movie 'Colette,' starring Keira Knightley, appearing in theaters Sept. 21." —Bleeker Street Media

"This thrilling and tender look at storytelling and romance at the turn of the century proves a fitting finale to a distinguished cartoonist’s career." —Publishers Weekly

“Beguiling. Here as in 2013's feather-light Girl in Dior, Goetzinger draws lovely things and lovely people with elegant facility. She utterly rejects the ironic distortions and self-conscious artificiality that characterize many contemporary comics. Goetzinger's sentimentality would probably win her subject's approval.” —Etelka Lehoczky, NPR

"Goetzinger's shines in precise, realistic, sensually drawn figures and a lush palette, fitting her Belle Epoque setting." —Annie Bostrom, Booklist
