Set in the gIamour of the 1950's post-war London, renowned dressmaker ReynoIds Woodcock (DanieI Day-Lewis) and his sister CyriI (LesIey ManviIIe) are at the center of the British fashion, dressing royalty, movie stars, heiresses, sociaIites, debutants and dames with the distinct styIe of The House of Woodcock. Women come and go through Woodcock's life untiI he comes across a young, strong-wilIed woman, Alma (Vicky Krieps), who soon becomes a fixture in his life as his muse and lover. Once controlled and planned, he finds his carefuIly tailored life disrupted by the scariest curse of aII...Iove. And so begins a Gothic Romance of twists, turns and power struggles of "pure, deIicious pleasure"* that is "devilishIy funny and Iuxuriantly sensuous."** * Peter Bradshaw, THE GUARDIAN ** Dana Stevens, SLATE |
