Coco Chanel changed the face of fashion. Bravely modern in the early 1920s - a time when corsets were compulsory - she got women out of their fussy dresses and into trousers, short skirts and stylish fitted jackets.She gave us the little black dress, created Jackie O's famous wardrobe and that famous Chanel fragrance. She was still working when she died in 1971 aged 87.
Coco avant Chanel is the story of the young Coco and the path that led her to become a designer. She's played by French actress Audrey Tautou who described the designer saying” “she had a lot of look and talent taste and this look and observation. That was her genius.
“She was such a brilliant woman she was a genius. Everything she did, everything she built is still actual and modern because she was a unique woman.”
Coco never married but was rumoured to have had many affairs.
The film centres around significant relationships Coco had with two men. Rich playboy lover Benoît Poelvoorde - who introduced her to her future clientele. And her great love, Boy Capel who also financed Coco’s first boutique.
It was a tough role for American actor Allesandro Nivola - who plays an Englisman that speaks in French throughout the film - he only had a basic grasp of the language when he got the role.
Nivola said “it was completely exhausting and nerve wracking not to mention that I needed to learn to play polo, and play piano and waltz and…”
Audrey Tautou has had the seal of approval from current Chanel designer Karl Lagerfeld for her portrayal of Coco. While director Anne Fontaine says the film couldn’t have gone ahead without her in the starring role.
“Physically she is incredibly close to Gabrielle Chanel. It’s incredible when I met Audrey, in 4 or 5 minutes I thought it’s incredible she's there in front of me.”
Tautou said “to play her how we know her like at the end of the movie is not that difficult because you have all the books videos and pictures, witnesses to play her before that it's more unknown world so it's more difficult to propose a character who has the potential to become the person that everyone knows.”
Like Chanel, Audrey Tautou is famed for her elegance and delicate beauty and while it was masculine tailoring that impressed Chanel, it’s masculine pastimes that Tautou loves, especially rugby and the All Blacks.
“Yes of course they are very impressive and I like when they lose to France! No one will come to my movie after this sentence!”Click Here to Watch The Video
