Coco avant Chanel (2009)

When a film doesn’t set out to be entertaining can it still be good? The short answer is yes. Each film falling into this classification has its own unique long answer though. Such is the case with the bleak, moody French biopic Coco avant Chanel, which translates to Coco Before Chanel. While the first and third words in the title are the ones that will catch your eye and draw you in, it’s that second word that is most important. Forget about glamour and celebrity, this film is less about fashion and more about a distasteful and unpleasant life endured before its subject hit the high life.


RATING: 3 out of 5
