Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky
Director: Jan Kounen
Actors: Anna Mouglalis / Mads Mikkelsen
CÉSAR NOMINATION! Best Costume Design
Picking up the story of Chanel more or less from where Anne Fontaine's
"Coco Avant Chanel" left off, director Jan Kounen beautifully captures
the charisma of two monumental personalities against the opulent
backdrops of 1920s Paris.
The opening sequence sets the film's grand tone by unfolding one of
the great artistic scandals in its original venue: the 1913 premiere of
revolutionary composer Stravinsky's radically modernist ballet, Rite of
Spring, at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées. Seven years later, rendered
penniless by the violently negative reaction to his work, Stravinsky
accepts the newly successful Chanel's offer to lodge him, his wife and
four children, in her new villa 'Bel Respiro' in Garches. And so begins
their frenzied liaison, paralleled by revolutionary ideas – the designer's
desire to transform women's fashions and the composer's redefinition
of musical taste.
COCO CHANEL & IGOR STRAVINSKY embraces the brilliance of these two
rebels, dissecting the intimacies of their personal lives with an empathy
that leaves the viewer reaching for superlatives.
