In the upcoming film, Keira “portrays the groundbreaking French novelist who began her career by penning the loosely autobiographical Claudine novels, for which her husband Willy took credit.”

“The film speaks to that sense that everyone is articulating now of being silenced and women’s voices not being heard or appreciated the same level as a man and the playing field not being even. The film is talking about feminism, it’s talking about gender politics, it’s talking about sexual politics and it’s talking about a celebrity couple, so these are things that are very relevant to today,” Keira said at a screening the night before.

Colette hits theaters on September 21st.

FYI: Keira is wearing Chanel.
