Coco Chanel life before becoming famous.
Normally we watch a biopic of a famous person to discover that she lead a very interesting life and went over a lot of adversities to become a celebrity. Not with Coco Chanel.
While the first part of the movie is mildly interesting with a lot of period details and various stuff happening, half an hour in the movie bogs down in a boring and annoying ménage a trois and nothing interesting really happens till the very end.
I’m not into fashion and I knew nothing about Coco Chanel before this movie but if she was anything like what we see on the big screen then she must have been a really terrible person. Audrey Tatou depicts an incredibly proud woman with no kindness in her, neither grace, only capable of complaining about the life that she choosed to live.
The other characters are all bidimensional cardboard figures with no personality neither motivations. For obscure reasons they all stubbornly threat Coco Chanel like the second coming of Marie Antoniette.
