Review of Coco Before Chanel (2009) by Dylan D — 12 Sep 2013
Coco Before Chanel is a wonderful biopic that emphasizes all the right parts of the fashion designer's early life, examining her drive, her skills, her thoughts, her loves, and the people that defined her existence, all of which together allowed for the construction of an empire that's synonymous with fashion in the same way that Henry Ford is synonymous with the automobile or Samuel Colt is synonymous with the six-shooter.
A lovely film that's wonderfully acted, engaging and endearing, and beautifully conceived and handsomely executed, Coco Before Chanel is one of 2009's better films, perhaps not as shiny as some and not as memorable as others, but a wonderful all-around throwback-style film that emphasizes life and story in the midst of some exemplary costuming and set pieces.
