Set in the glamour of the 1950's post-war London, renowned dressmaker Reynolds Woodcock (Daniel Day-Lewis) and his sister CyriI (Lesley 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-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 carefulIy 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 pleasure"* that is "devilishly funny and luxuriantIy sensuous."** * Peter Bradshaw, THE GUARDIAN ** Dana Stevens, SLATE |
