Review of Coco Chanel (2008) by Andrew N — 18 Jan 2010
I got this movie by mistake, I thought I had purchased the Coco Avant Chanel 2009 copy played by Audrey Tautou.
Coco Chanel, one of the most influential fashion icons of the 20th century. Born as Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel. I enjoyed this wonderful biopic but I do find that Shirley MacLaine was seriously miscast as the older Chanel. The grand old dame should have performed the role of the mature Coco with a French accent. It was just wrong to hear her American twang in some scenes! Glaringly, this really is Barbora Bobulova's film. She is winsome and stubborn, passionate yet vulnerable and of course so very gifted. She portrays a lovely, younger version of Gabrielle 'Coco" Chanel.
