if you have to see one movie about Coco Chanel, this is the one – do me a favor and avoid that horribly crappy tv movie w/th Shirley MacLaine! loosely based on Edmonde Charles-Roux’s book, (“L’irrégulière”), the movie focuses on Chanel’s early life, first true love and climb to fame. Audrey Tautou truly holds everything together – her resemblance w/th Mademoiselle is striking – and i felt a bit sad we don’t get the chance to follow the character further on. after seeing the movie, i definitely want to know more about Chanel’s life.
