Colette: win a pair of preview screening tickets

Unconventional country girl Colette (Keira Knightley) has married a charismatic egomaniacal man 14 years her senior, known as Willy (Dominic West). Through his auspices, Colette is introduced into the artistic demimonde in Paris where her creative appetite is sparked. Quick to capitalise on talent, Willy permits Colette to write novels only if she does so in his name.

The phenomenal success of her Claudine series makes Willy a famous writer and the pair become the first modern celebrity couple. Although they are the toast of the town, lack of recognition for her work begins to gnaw on Colette. Fuelled by Willy’s infidelities and Colette’s growing interest in women, their marriage starts to combust. Willy resorts to increasingly desperate measures to pay his debts and sabotage his wife, but Colette is developing resources of her own.

Directed by Wash Westmoreland (Still Alice), Colette is the story of a woman who has been denied her voice by an overbearing man, and who goes to extraordinary lengths to find it; a battle of the sexes at the beginning of the modern age, when seismic shifts were taking place in the roles of men and women.

We’ve teamed up with Lionsgate to offer readers the chance to attend a preview screening of the film. We have 80 pairs of tickets to give away.
