The world of fashion wouldn’t be the same if Gabrielle (Coco) Chanel didn’t invent the little black dress, simple but elegant clothing and learn women to wear trousers.
The biographical film Coco avant Chanel by the director Anne Fontaine wants to show us the beginnings of Coco Chanel’s career, her difficult childhood and what she had to sacrifice to become the timeless fashion icon of all women. Audrey Tautou, the French actress well-known for her wonderful part in Le Fabuleux destin d’Amélie Poulain (Amelie from Montmartre), stars as Coco Chanel and gives to her part all her French charm and elegance. The another thing is that Audrey also ubelievably resembles Coco – she has got the same petite figure, black hair and dark eyes. Coco Avant Chanel is meant to be a modest and not ostentatious film – only two camera were used and it was shot only in France in Biarritz and at the castle Millemont.
So if you admire Coco’s style and want to know something more about her attractive but complicated life, the film Coco Before Chanel will not definetely let you down.
