The Movies Based on True Stories Database by Traciy Curry-Reyes was the first to compile a list of movies based on true stories and was the first site to coin the term 'movies based on true stories' in the 1990s. This list should only include movies supported by a Wikipedia article.
Bleecker Street on YouTubeColette and Willy had an open marriage, and the movie portrays both of them pining after a visitor from the U.S. Named Georgie Raoul-Duval (Eleanor Tomlinson). As Time points out, it was common during the turn of the century for “upper-class and bohemian' French marriages to allow infidelity, but Colette and Willy's marriage became a special case when both of them openly dated women.
While she was married to Willy, Colette saw Napoleon III’s niece, Matilde de Morny, or Missy, (Denise Gough) who cross-dressed as a man. Willy, on the other hand, had his own girlfriend, and the four of them even went on vacation together, per Refinery29.Colette and Willy's relationship ended in the early 1900s, and that's where Colette the movie ends. Based on various biographies of the French author, Colette's story got even more surprising from there. First, Missy and Colette remained together for a few years longer, and an introduction to Colette's book The Vagabond, written by Stanley Applebaum, reports that at the Moulin Rouge in 1907, shocking audiences. That relationship ended in 1911, according to Applebaum, and from there Colette went on to marry male newspaper editor named Henry de Jouvenel.
According to Time, Colette ended up having an affair with Henry de Jouvenel's 16-year-old stepson. That salacious affair took place around the time that Colette published a book called Cheri, which happens to tell the story of an 18-year-old man who starts an affair with one of his mother's friends, who's 24 years older than he is. Refinery29 states that Colette and Henry later divorced and the author went on to date more women and finally marry one last man whom she was with when she'd died in 1954 in Paris.You can probably tell just from Colette's life story that the eponymous character in the new period biopic doesn't attempt to follow her society's expectations of how a woman should behave. For moviegoers of today, watching a movie about a woman living life on her own terms — even over a century ago — could be extremely inspiring.
