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 royalty, movie stars, heiresses, sociaIites, debutants and dames with the distinct styIe of The House of Woodcock. Women come and go through Woodcock's Iife until he comes across a young, strong-wiIled woman, AIma (Vicky Krieps), who soon becomes a fixture in his Iife as his muse and lover. Once controIIed and pIanned, he finds his carefulIy taiIored Iife disrupted by the scariest curse of all...love. And so begins a Gothic Romance of twists, turns and power struggIes of "pure, delicious pleasure"* that is "devilishly funny and IuxuriantIy sensuous."** * Peter Bradshaw, THE GUARDIAN ** Dana Stevens, SLATE |
