Review of Coco Before Chanel (2009) by Nate W — 04 Mar 2010
Yawn. "Coco Avant Chanel" is a painfully pedestrian biopic, so by-the-book that I would rather buy the book. Audrey Tautou plays world renowned fashion designer Coco Chanel in her early life, her interests in clothing design just starting to bud.
Much of the film plays out merely as a showcase for Catherine Leterrier's pretty costumes, and Alexandre Desplat's score, though lovely, does the film no favours by lulling its audience to sleep.
