We saw Coco Before Chanel last night(it wasn't on where I live so we had to go to Manchester). The film was nice film, but you can see she was a very troubled lady. Audrey Tautou was perfect for the role, her delivery was spot on. Also it all being in a super sexy French accent didn't hurt. Though I did feel like I was left wanting more(or somtehing else). Or maybe that was the point, it being before she hit the big time in Paris.
What did you think? And how much do you want Chanel fast food? Eat it.
I enjoyed the film, but I felt it was really only incidental that it was about Chanel, and I probably wouldn't have gone if I'd known how little it had to do with fashion.
ReplyDeleteOf course it was Coco before Chanel, but I had sort of thought there would be more fashion stuff - what there was was quite limited and it didn't really explain much, it was more of a period romantic drama, albeit stylishly done.
I also felt the ending was rushed and quite weak, and it was weird that the First World War was totally omitted.
i think you summed that up perfectly, i couldn't agree more.
