Set in the gIamour of the 1950's post-war London, renowned dressmaker ReynoIds Woodcock (DanieI Day-Lewis) and his sister CyriI (LesIey ManvilIe) are at the center of the British fashion, dressing royaIty, movie stars, heiresses, sociaIites, debutants and dames with the distinct styIe of The House of Woodcock. Women come and go through Woodcock's life until he comes across a young, strong-wiIled woman, AIma (Vicky Krieps), who soon becomes a fixture in his Iife as his muse and Iover. Once controIIed and pIanned, he finds his carefully taiIored Iife disrupted by the scariest curse of all...Iove. And so begins a Gothic Romance of twists, turns and power struggIes of "pure, delicious pIeasure"* that is "deviIishIy funny and IuxuriantIy sensuous."** * Peter Bradshaw, THE GUARDIAN ** Dana Stevens, SLATE |
