The location shoot in Budapest was so warm at times, Dominic West wore a water vest inside his heavy costume that functioned like a car radiator, circulating cool water around his upper body. The contraption was recommended to him by John C. Reilly who used such an apparatus while playing the rotund Oliver Hardy in the biopic Stan & Ollie (2018).
It was illegal for women to wear men's clothing during that time period in France; hence, the scandal over Colette's choice to begin wearing pants. Ironically, homosexuality itself was legal, and had been since 1791.
When writing the first version of the script, Richard Glatzer and Wash Westmoreland were staying in a mansion lent by a friend. It turned out that his aunt was very close to Anne de Jouvenel, Colette's granddaughter.
Colette was born out of the interest of Richard Glatzer, partner and companion of director Wash Westmoreland, in the French author. In 1999, he began to read books about her and came up with the idea of making it the subject of a film. When Westmoreland and Glatzer were in the spotlight thanks to Julianne Moore's Oscar for Still Alice (2014), they decided to finally tackle Colette. Unfortunately, by then, Glatzer was hospitalized with late-stage ALS, and could communicate only through an iPad application to convert text to sound using a toe. He died shortly after.
The director decided to cast some transgender actors as cisgender characters: Jake Graf as Gaston Arman de Caillavet and Rebecca Root as novelist Rachilde.
"Colette: My name is Gabrielle Colette and the hand that holds the pen writes history."
"Colette: I Can Read You Like The Top Line of an Optician's Chart."
