Coco Before Chanel AKA Coco avant Chanel

Coco Before Chanel (2009) - IMDb
Coco Before Chanel AKA Coco avant Chanel
Warner Bros.
22 April 2009
Historical Drama, Romance
DVD
B-

This is an interesting but not absorbing look at the early life of the famous French fashion designer, with at least as much focus on her romantic relationships as on her evolving sense of style.  The movie gives a good sense of Tautou's versatility, since Coco is nothing like Amelie.  (And I recall her character in A Very Long Engagement as being different as well.)  Anne Fontaine directed and co-wrote, based on the book Chanel and Her World by Edmonde Charles-Roux
