Saw Coco Avant Chanel last night.
A very interesting and enjoyable French film. I was literally totally focused from scene to scene. Brilliant acting by Audrey Tautou who acted her part most convincingly. There were many sad scenes that did not compensate the happy scenes. The film portrayed an in depth look at the life of Coco Chanel before she became the world famous fashion designer. Based mostly on her life in poverty and how she strive from rags to riches. My only one small disappointment was that the final scenes were rushed once her English lover died who was called Boy and then rushed to the scenes of her very first fashion collection. Some parts are missing cause when Boy died she was making hats. I suppose the reason behind this they were on a budget and if filming more scenes, would have also lengthen the film through time and money Having mentioned that, I would 100% recommend this movie for the hardcore fan of Chanel.
I truly believe that Coco Chanel is the only world fashion designer. When she died in 1971, no-one could have replaced her or carried on her work as she had wanted to.

-but a few things bugged me, like how the bridge of the Enterprise looks like an Apple store (iEnterprise, anyone?), and how the engineering deck of ANY starship looked like a water treatment plant.... But the SFX were awesome, the score was great, and the casting was spot-on; the actors made these characters their own without slavishly imitating the original cast. Definitely would pay to see this again.
