There is no amazing hormone that makes sleep deprivation fine. You just need a lot of cuddles. Look at me. The film is directed by Wash Westmoreland, from a screenplay by Westmoreland and his late husband Richard Glatzer, the duo behind Still Alice. Glatzer died of complications from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in We all felt that Richard was very present. Obviously, Wash talks about him and talks about their process. He was an extraordinary man and we made this in his memory.
As Co lette opens, Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette Knightley , is a country girl who moves to turn-of-the-century Paris with her domineering, philandering writer husband, Willy Dominic West. Happily, the bohemian culture of Paris and a series of lovers allow Colette to outgrow and outshine her bullying spouse.
The fact that it was made when it was and finally got financing is because feminist issues are suddenly more culturally acceptable. There is at least some conversation about the pay divide and harassment on a near-global scale. On the troublesome matter of harassment, I wonder what she thinks about Harvey Weinstein. But rape? And the whole bath towel business? We talk about wanting equality.
We need equality just to be safe. In recent years, Knightley has spoken about her anxieties around the sudden global fame that came with the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. I was surprised to read it. Can this really be the same Keira Knightley who, aged three, asked her actor father and writer mother if she could get an agent? By my own recollection, around the release of the second Pirates film, she seemed like the most self-possessed year-old on the planet.
Questions pertaining to her weight were shut down with aplomb. Was she not as unflappable as she appeared? For the first Pirates film, things were alright. After that I was not alright. Just for me, it was more extreme because I was dealing with the press. All I remember is that I was a very, very young girl trying desperately to pretend. It was a very difficult shoot. It takes two to tango. Yet women seemed just as mean as men. Internalised misogyny? All of us respond to and survive within the culture in the way that we can.
But I think we need to have a big look at ourselves. Be nice, be supportive, be pretty but not too pretty, be thin but not too thin, be sexy but not too sexy, be successful but not too successful. Is that OK? Talk and be heard, be talked to and listen. Male ego. Stop getting in the way. Otherwise, how can you respect it? The core problem, she reckons, is that the voices of a generation of women are lost to childcare. We know so many aspects of even male sexuality.
The problem with those two images is I think very few women actually identify with them. Women are meant to play the flirt or the mother in order to get their voice heard. It makes me feel sick. On set, she was informed by a male director — not Westmoreland — exactly what she was: not passive-aggressive, but openly aggressive.
Her eyes pop recalling the shock. And this was someone I liked. She has always seemed poised, someone of conviction and confidence, if not arrogance. Bumblings have been low-key; she has kept it together. Not without effort, it turns out. Earlier this year, she told the Hollywood Reporter that she had had a breakdown aged 22, following five years of endless exposure.
She needed hypnotherapy to feel able to walk the Baftas red carpet for Atonement in She upped the robustness of her engagement with the press, suing the Daily Mail after it implied she was a poster girl for anorexia.
Today, she credits that crisis with being able to handle the first few months of motherhood. And that is another reason why marginalising women once they have had children is dangerous, she says, if not warming to her theme she never really strays from it then expanding her thesis.
Interviewed in The Guardian late last December, Knightley told an anecdote about the fact that as a child, she had believed she would grow up to be a man.
Maybe it was that the girls were the most powerful in the playground. They were in charge and, obviously, the men were in charge outside. Looking for an answer as to why the actress was disliked enough to have developed Goddamned PTSD from ill-treatment by the media and the general public is not so straightforward, either. It makes more sense to say that both actresses, wide-mouthed, overeager and extremely beautiful in a way somehow utterly divorced from sex, triggered some mass dislike in women desperate not to be seen as too try-hard.
