COCO BEFORE CHANEL Review

I recently got a chance to see Anne Fontaine's film Coco Before Chanel, which comes out to theaters this Friday, September 25, 2009.
The film follows the life of Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel (played by Audrey Tautou) before she became the iconic Coco Chanel. We learn about the two most important men in her life, Etienne Balsan (played by Benoît Poelvoorde), a rich racehorse owner, who became her lover, and Boy Capel (played by Alessandro Nivola), the love of her life, who helped her along the way.
The problem with films based on someone's life is that sometimes they might end up boring. Let's face it, not everyone's life is interesting enough to become a movie and even if it is, the filmmaker needs to make sure they are telling a story and not just recounting events.
I think that Anne Fontaine achieved that. While Coco Before Chanel is based on a real story, the film would still work even if it wasn't because it is so well put together. In fact, Coco Before Chanel is really a love story, a tragic one, but a love story none the less.

We finally get an English trailer for Coco Before Chanel, but I have to say that I liked the French one way better (which you can watch here). I think it shows a lot more. I'm still very excited to see the movie though.

COCO AVANT CHANEL Trailer
Check out the French trailer for the movie COCO AVANT CHANEL (Coco Before Chanel) starring Audrey Tautou, Alessandro Nivola, Benoît Poelvoorde, Marie Gillain, Emmanuelle Devos, and directed by Anne Fontaine.
I just love Audrey Tautou and so it's really exciting to see her in such an interesting part. And it's also pretty fun to see Alessandro Nivola especially since he's speaking French. Plus I've been a fan of his for years.
As for Benoît Poelvoorde so far I have only seen him in funny parts, so I'm curious to see him in something a little more serious.
The trailer for Coco Avant Chanel looks pretty amazing if you ask me. I cannot wait to see it. And since the trailer is in French and there are no subtitles, I translated pretty much everything that is said for you. You can find the translation at the bottom below the trailer.
Enjoy and let me know what you think. Will you go see Coco Avant Chanel when it comes out?
Coco Avant Chanel will be released to theaters in France on April 22, 2009. No US release date yet. Watch the trailer below.
