Film Screening – “Colette”
This delightful and provocative biopic stars Keira Knightley as the celebrated French writer and gay icon Gabrielle Colette. Her first husband, Willie (Dominic West) introduces her to Paris Society and when money becomes scarce, he pressures her to write a novel under his name. The novel’s success results in a series of novels and inspires Gaby to fight for creative ownership. Knightley shines in this story of liberation, sexual adventure, and claiming of women’s power. Members: $5, Non-Members: $9
