I hear the Coco Chanel film is being released in both French and English. Are the films much different?
Thanks.|||Three films about Coco Chanel were made recently and have been released in 2008 and 2009.
Coco Chanel (2008) is a television film directed by Christian Duguay and written by Ron Hutchinson, Enrico Medioli and Lea Tafuri. It stars Shirley MacLaine as (the older) Coco Chanel, the pioneering French fashion designer. The film was broadcast by Lifetime Television
The film "Coco avant Channel" is a biopic by Anne Fontaine of Mademoiselle Chanel when she was young and poor before she became the famous couturier and perfume expert. Audrey Tautou is playing the main part.
Coco Avant Chanel, has been criticised for "ignoring" her affair with the Nazi officer, Hans Gunther von Dincklage. Instead the film focuses on what its director calls the "miserable Balzacian early years of Gabrielle Chanel", nicknamed "Coco" during her failed attempt to launch a singing career. The film sees her move from poverty to high society, from young hat-maker to her first catwalk show, but it stops short of the darker period in her life - her affair with the Nazi officer at Paris's Ritz hotel during the Occupation.
It also fails to mention that Chanel tried to use the law banning Jews from owning businesses to wrest control of her perfume manufacturing from the Wertheimer family who ran it at that time.
The movie is the first of two feature films about the fashion house founder to open in 2009 . A second is a rival film about Chanel's love affair with the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky.Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky met and loved each other for a few madly passionate seasons before going separate ways to become legends of Western society. Jan Kounen's "Coco Chanel %26amp; Igor Stravinsky" takes the measure of this affair in a film that is less a dual biopic than a fleeting impression of two 20th century cultural revolutionaries.|||I think the one with Shirley MacLaine in the title role would be interesting.|||I THINK ONE IF FRENCH
