A Star is Born Cert 15 (Strong language, drug misuse) 2018 Running time: 2 hours 16 mins Director: Bradley Cooper Screenplay: Eric Roth & Bradley Cooper Starring: Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Sam Elliott Genre: Drama, Music, Romance Seasoned musician Jackson Maine (Bradley Cooper) discovers-and falls in love with struggling artist Ally (Gaga). She has just about given up on her dream to make it big as a singer - until Jack coaxes her into the spotlight. But even as Ally's career takes off, the personal side of their relationship is breaking down, as Jack fights an ongoing battle with his own internal demons. Written by Warner Bros The film, which was nominated for 15 Oscars and Baftas, and won two for its music, features “a sensationally good Lady Gaga, whose ability to be part ordinary person, part celebrity... functions at the highest level at all times. Her songs are gorgeous and the ingenuous openness of her scenes with Jackson (Bradley Cooper) are wonderfully sympathetic.” (The Guardian) |

Soon after, Willy convinces Colette to ghostwrite for him. Colette, in turn, pens a semi-autobiographical novel about a witty and brazen country girl named Claudine, sparking a bestseller and a cultural sensation. After it's success, Colette and Willy become the talk of Paris and their adventures inspire additional Claudine novels. Colette's fight over creative ownership and gender roles drives her to overcome societal constraints, revolutionizing literature, fashion and sexual expression. Written by jesusblack-30225 |
