Coco Chanel (2009) - Drama/Romance

Rating: 8/10

Summary: The story of Gabriella "Coco" Chanel (Audrey Tautou) before her rise to fame as a fashion phenomena. 

I found this film after watching Amelie (which I highly recommend), I really wanted to watch another film staring Audrey Tautou because she is such a brilliant actress and she has so much personality.

After seeing her play the eccentric, bubbly, and adventurous Amelie, it was strange to see her playing such a stubborn, serious, and sarcastic fashionista like Coco Chanel. It was strange but she did a marvelous job.

Her attitude throughout the film was fascinating to watch, Audrey was oozing with personality which made the film so much more interesting to watch. Also an independent woman forcing her way to the top is always entertaining, especially when you know she will become one of the most successful and influential women to ever live. Her sharp tongue made for fast paced sarcasm and quick wit humor that made Coco a total badass woman that I'm

sure no man wanted to ever mess with.

It was also interesting to see such an independent woman who seemed so emotionless fall in love unwillingly. It was outside the realm of normal Romance/Dramas where people are so willing to fall, where as she tried her best to avoid it, to push her lover as far away as possible.

This film is so entertaining and quite funny, and extremely fascinating. I recommend it to anyone who is interested in bios, or fashion, or if you like quick wit humor, or foreign films, or Audrey Tautou. Actually I recommend it to anyone, it's a great film that I'm sure everyone will thoroughly enjoy. Altogether I give it a B+.
