Colette follows a traditional dramatic structure common to wartime survival stories. The narrative prioritizes the romantic perseverance of two individuals over a broader exploration of diverse identities. While the setting of Auschwitz inherently addresses systemic oppression, the film's focus remains on a specific European historical lens. It adheres to established genre conventions rather than attempting to disrupt social hierarchies. Ultimately, the film functions as a standard historical romance. It lacks the diverse character representation or subversive storytelling required to move beyond conventional dramatic clichés.
