Beautiful but boring
Pretty much everything about this movie is perfect. The costumes, the hairstyles, the cinematography, the story and it is just over all a very beautiful film. The only problem is, its slightly boring.

Gabrielle, nickname Coco (Audrey Tautou), and her sister (Marie Gallain) grow up as orphans and later make money as seamstresses during the day and singing at a bar by night. When her sister leaves her to get married to a baron, Coco decides to leave, too. She stays with a friend/lover where she meats the man that helps her change her life.

As I said, Coco before Chanel is a stunningly beautiful film. The costumes are obviously a huge part of the films look but I also loved the hairstyles. Cocos whole style is just gorgeous. I am so glad that it was filmed in French, which gives it a sort of authenticity that an English version would have lacked. Audrey Tautou is great, as always. She has such a strong presence on screen and is just so beautiful to watch.

Watching Gabrielle grow into Coco is very inspiring. It really shows that you have to stay true to yourself and don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t do something or shouldn’t wear something. The story itself is very interesting but it is told in a very slow way that made me constantly grab my ipad to play Farm Story. That is never a good sign.

What you should know before (or even after) watching “Coco”…
This movie is so much more than a straightforward biopic or a straightforward romance. If you focus entirely on plot, you might find yourself unsatisfied.

The charm of this film lies in its themes. In particular, the duality of Coco is very compelling (whether historically accurate or not). Here is a woman who is driven by love yet unlovable due to her social status. She has a strong business sense, yet is denied a business role by a male-dominated society. She delights in fashion and wishes to interact with high society, yet she herself is a misfit. She is proud yet lives the life of a concubine. She designs fashions to exaggerate beauty yet does it with simplicity, contrary to the Victorian excesses of the times.

I could go on and on, but I think you get the picture. This film is very much about a person who is conflicted yet manages to eke out a successful existence. It remains to be seen (and is largely up to your interpretation) whether or not it’s a ‘happy’ life, but one way or another, it’s a very realistic life, and with this in mind I found the film to be very satisfying.

Other themes are more subtle but just as compelling. The film takes us to an isolated and minimalistic world (75% of the film exists on a lone estate on the outskirts of Paris). Coco herself is given a vague childhood & dubious past. She escapes these limitations by fabricating stories about herself, a different one for each occasion (much like an outfit?). In that respect it reminded me of “Impromptu”, the movie about Chopin, which is set on a lone European estate on a rainy weekend and highlights the imagination & drama that artists get themselves into when locked up for too long.

Other movies that have similar themes & presentation are “La Môme” (about singer Edith Piaf), “Man on the Moon” (about comedian Andy Kaufman) and “Frida” (about painter Frida Kahlo), all of which I recommend in addition to “Coco”.
