Becoming Colette (1991)

"Becoming Colette" is a period drama following the early life of French writer Colette. She navigates marriage and ambition in 1890s Paris. Mathilda May takes the title role, playing Colette with a frankness that suits the story. The themes center on sexual awakening and reinvention. The site's archive holds one nude scene clip from the film. It catches May baring all in a scene tied to Colette's push toward independence. For anyone drawn to literary biopics with genuine skin in the game, that single clip makes the visit worthwhile.
