Audrey Tautou (THE DA VINCI CODE, AMELIE) shines in this intriguing portrait of the early life of Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, the orphan who would build a fashion empire and be known universally by her nickname, Coco. She journeys from a mundane seamstress job to boisterous cabarets to the opulent French countryside, possessing little more than her unwavering determination, unique style and visionary talent. Also starring Benoit Poelvoorde (IN HIS HANDS) and Alessandro Nivola (JUNEBUG). Featuring lush settings and stunning costume design, COCO BEFORE CHANEL is the gripping and dramatic story of an icon who defied convention and defined the modern woman.
"COCO BEFORE CHANEL has it all -- striving, sensuality, romance and a bittersweet ending that turns out to be just the beginning." -- Ann Hornaday, WASHINGTON POST
