Coco Avant ChanelBorn in 1883 in provincial France, Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel overcame an inauspicious start in life with a forthright manner and revolutionary approach to women's tailoring. Through inspiration, application, sheer force of will (and the largesse of an aristocratic benefactor who fell in love with her), Chanel became the embodiment of French chic.
Shot in Paris and Normandy, Anne Fontaine's languidly elegant biopic features a splendid central performance by the beguiling Audrey Tatou (Amelie).
