Review of Coco Chanel (2008) by Robert A — 30 Mar 2014
This was okay, I was expecting more of a bio about Coco's entire life instead this just touches on her childhood and then profiles her throughout her twenties; working in a Paris dress shop and then moving in with a wealthy British man.
Not satisfied being a kept woman, Coco designs hats and dreams of moving to Paris to open her own boutique. There's a bit of a love triangle, that's never resolved with her lovers best friend.
Shirley MacClaine plays Coco in her later years and is excellent(although I wondered where her French accent disappeared to?) Really her role is only a cameo, appearing at the beginning and end. Speaking of which the ending is abrupt, leaving tons of unanswered questions.
