Film Review

Life story of Gabrielle Chanel, known as the fashion icon Coco Chanel is filmed. A tasteful story of a poor girl who transformed into a legendary fashion designer, a biopic movie with some romance but more than that, a real success story of a modern woman.

The $26 million budgeted Warner Bros movie ‘Coco avant Chanel’ (Coco Before Chanel), starring Audrey Tautou, is directed by Anne Fontaine who is also one of the screenwriters of the movie. This year, there are three movie projects on Coco Chanel but this one really deserves admiration with magnificent performance of Audrey Tautou. Coco avant Chanel of Anne Fontaine focuses on the rise of Gabrielle Chanel to fame while another Chanel movie of Kounen is about her relationship with Stravinsky.
