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