Coco Before Chanel

Coco Chanel is a very famous lady, having changed the fashion world forever, in more than a few ways. She starts out in this movie as a very poor girl, barely getting through life by sewing during the day time, and singing at night time, working with her beloved sister. Coco is no typical girl, however. She is totally against the 'silly, ridiculous' styles of the day, and wore mens clothing instead of the corsets, feathered hats, and crazy skirts. She makes some friends, but after her sister moves away to someday get married, she moved to the house of a man she met while working one night, and from there learned how to ride and care for horses, made more friends, and started making hats and such for the ladies who at first throught they were too plain, but then came back more and more as everyone loved the style. This movie is all in the French language, with a couple British words, but not many. haha It is something you would want to wait to see till you are a little older, I think. I had it filtered, as it is rated PG-13 for many, many scenes and crazy sensual things in it. Oh, and some smoking. lol I actually found it annoying how much smoking was in this movie. It is 105 minutes, has amazing actors, including Audrey Tautou, Benoit Poelvoorde, and Alessandro Nivola, who you have probably not heard of, but are all extremely talented. haha  This is actually a really, really good movie, that is very touching and helps you see what type of life people had back then.  Not one of my favorites, but this is still very good, and I plan on watching it again, someday. =)
