OPENS FRIDAY, JUNE 26th!
It is turn of the century in Paris, and a scandalous romp is afoot. The ravishing Lea (Michelle Pfeiffer) is contemplating retirement from her renowned stature as Paris’s most envied seductress to the rich and famous. Her plans are cut short when she is approached by a former courtesan and arch rival, the barb-throwing gossip Charlotte Peloux (Kathy Bates), who encourages Lea to teach her disaffected 19 year-old son — a bon vivant nicknamed “Cheri” (Rupert Friend) — a thing or two about women. The resulting escapades involve power struggles over sex, money, age and society - and unexpectedly, love itself — as a boy who refuses to grow up collides with a woman who realizes she cannot stay young forever. Director Stephen Frears (”The Queen”) and screenwriter Christopher Hampton (”Atonement”) reunite to playfully bring Colette’s unconventional romance to the screen.
