Perfectly Done……Amazing!,

By L. C. Fox “L. C. Fox” (Wheeling, WV USA) -

I absolutely love this movie. i am so excited that is on dvd now. if you love fashion history then this is for you. if you love drama and romance then this is for you. if you’re at all curious about this movie-just get it! it will not dissapoint you, i promise. this movie details what chanel is really about and how “it” came to be. it tells the story of coco’s life starting from when she was a poor little girl in an orphanage to how her drive to succeed took her through many emotional and social challenges in order for her to become what “we” all know her as- “THE GREAT COCO CHANEL”. Coco’s stubbornness is both her gift and her downfall. I wont give anymore away-but that will become most evident throughout the whole movie.

The strength of a woman, overcoming life’s hard knocks,

This review is from: Coco Chanel (DVD)

Coco CHANEL became a courageous, confident, fiesty and brave young woman when she was orphaned after her monther died and her father left her and younger sister at a convent in France. This is a very interesting story, well directed, filmed in beautiful France which demonstrates how CoCo faced each and every hardship in her life with grace and confidence, giving her continued hope for her future. Above all the negative, jealous people, CoCo maintained her focus, her infamous style and her dignity.

A must-see for anyone interested in how CoCo Chanel started in fashion, and for young women to view ways of overcoming hardships in life.

“Coco Chanel”

Maclaine Plays Chanel

Amos Lassen

“Coco Chanel” is an old fashioned love story and the movie was not all what I expected to see. Shirley Maclaine is Coco and she gives a riveting performance. The role is haunting and Maclaine as the mature Chanel wears it well. Barbora (her spelling)
Bobulova plays younger Chanel and we are transported between the two actresses and fast forwards and flashbacks. In this way we cab see how the mature Coco had regrets about her past. We also get a chance to see how an orphan became a woman who changed the way women dress and managed to work her way from France to the entire world.
Chanel created the little black dress and the tweed suit and she was the epitome of style and elegance. She was a modern woman who hated clothes that restricted women and to her simple elegance, comfort and style were the most important things. She created Chanel No. 5, one of the best known perfumes in the world and her fashion was recognizable everywhere.
The film is a biopic of a woman with a sense of freedom and independence and the movie totally succeeds.
