Coco Chanel

05.07.10
Coco Avant Chanel
2009
Starring: Audrey Tautou



Coco before Chanel was a very well executed biographical film of Coco Chanel. The musical score and cinematography were absolutely beautiful and the costuming was, obviously, the focal point of the movie. Overall, i did not really enjoy this viewing experience, it dragged on despite it's meager 105 min. runtime. The character development, for any other role besides Coco's, was shabbily strung together and there was a shocking lack of "chemistry" between Coco and her various love interests. Sadly, the ever-impressive acting of the beautiful Audrey Tautou and the parade of Chanel's historically pivotal wardrobe at the end of the film were the only redeeming aspects of this film.
