Perhaps because I am born of the same day as Colette, the new film based on the novels Chéri and The Last of Chéri, the new film Chéri, premiered here this week in Hollywood. It is a tragicomedy about the cougar love affair between an aging courtesan and a pampered, self-centered nineteen-year-old bon vivant.
A ravishing courtesan Lea de Lonval is palyed by Michelle Pfeiffer. The teenage Cheri is played by Rupert Friend and Kathy Bates as Madame Peloux, Chéri’s scheming mother and Léa’s old rival. This film is one of the most visually lush works to come out of Hollywood and a must see for all women 40 plus.
