Souvenir (from Colette)

Thomas Adès composed the score for the 2019 film Colette starring Keira Knightley and Dominic West and based on the life of the French novelist Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette. The film explores her fight for creative ownership and resistance to the societal constraints of the early 20th century. This solo piano piece appears in the end credits, played by the composer himself, and appears as the track “Colette” on the soundtrack album.
