Watched "Coco Avant Chanel" (Coco before Chanel) with Junie, Nana and my sis.
Frankly speaking, before I went, I had really high hopes for this movie and
wanted to know how Coco Chanel got her inspiration and how she built her Chanel Empire.
Audrey TauTou was fantastic in the show,
and Alessandro Nivola was charming as the English Businessman.
But this movie falls below my expectation and I find it a tad boring at some points.
Synopsis taken from imdb website:
Several years after leaving the orphanage to which her father never returned for her, Gabrielle Chanel finds herself working in a provincial bar. She's both a seamstress for the performers and a singer, earning the nickname Coco from the song she sings nightly with her sister. A liaison with Baron Balsan gives her an entree into French society and a chance to develop her gift for designing increasingly popular hats. When she falls in love with English businessman Arthur Capel further opportunities open up, though life becomes ever more complicated
