Daniel Day - Lewis plays a haute couture dressmaker in 1950s England; the
actor has announced this will be his last film but in a spirit of genuine humility has allowed it to be
stolen by Vicky Krieps, a little - known actress from Luxembourg who plays the dressmaker's muse, progressing from a shy nonentity — a living mannequin — to his emotional equal and the keeper of his
art and soul.
