“Coco Before Chanel”

Audrey Tautou (The Da Vinci Code,
Amélie) shines in this intriguing portrait of
the early life of Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel,
the orphan who would build a fashion
empire and be known universally by her
nickname, Coco. She journeys from a
mundane seamstress job to boisterous
cabarets to the opulent French countryside,
possessing little more than her unwavering
determination, unique style and visionary
talent. Also starring Benoît Poelvoorde (In
His Hands) and Alessandro Nivola
(Junebug). Featuring lush settings and
stunning costume design, Coco Before
Chanel is the gripping and dramatic story
of an icon who defied convention and
defined the modern woman.
