The international trailer for Cheri. Set in 1920s Paris, Cheri tells the story of the end of a six-year affair between an aging retired courtesan, L a, and a pampered young man, Ch ri. Turning stereotypes upside-down, it is Ch ri who wears silk pajamas and L a's pearls, and who is the object of gaze.

The domestic trailer for Cheri. It is turn of the century in Belle Epoque Paris and a scandalous romp is underfoot. The sensational tale begins as the ravishing Lea (Michelle Pfeiffer) contemplates retirement from her renowned stature as Paris s most envied seductress to the rich and famous. Her plans are cut short when she is approached by a former courtesan and arch rival, the barb-throwing gossip Charlotte Peloux (Kathy Bates), who encourages Lea to teach her disaffected 19 year-old son a bon vivant nicknamed Ch ri (Rupert Friend) a thing or two about women. The resulting escapades involve power struggles over sex, money, age and society and unexpectedly, love itself as a boy who refuses to grow up collides with a woman who realizes she cannot stay young forever. Director Stephen Frears ( The Queen ) and screenwriter Christopher Hampton ( Atonement ) reunite ( Dangerous Liaisons ) to playfully bring Colette s unconventional romance, Cheri, to the screen.
