CoCo Before Chanel

In the summer holidays I went to se "CoCo Before Chanel". CoCo Before Chanel is a film about Gabrielle Chanel (founder of Chanel Beauty). It was a Bio-Pic. A lot of film critics claimed it was boring. So I was a bit apprehensive when I bought my ticket. I was surprised when I watched it because usually that's not my type of film. But I really enjoyed it. To be fair I didn't understand a lot of the storyline but what I did understand was really good. The film was in French so it had subtitles. I always find this a bit confusing because it is hard to watch the film and the text but you can get used to it after a while. I love love loved the dresses. It was really inspiring to see how someone who started off with literally nothing can go as far as creating Chanel!

The Role of Gabrielle Chanel was played by Audrey Tautou who nailed the part and made it her own.

The clothing was immaculate. Sadly the real CoCo Chanel died at the age of 88 in 1971. But the boi-pic did not include a lot of her time being famous. It was more before that when she was making her way there. She has been a very influential on haute couture. This film helps people to understand CoCo Chanel, it helps you to realize that she was a person not a brand. I think it gives people hope because it makes you feel like even you have a chance of making an imprint on the fashion industry. It shows that, like us, she had a life before she was famous and it was a normal if not poor one. She made her way from scratch proving we can too. I think this film was a brilliant film to her memory.
