Coco Chanel

Coco, with the face of Bobuľová and MacLaine, is the most complex story of the famous fashion designer. This two-part film tells the story of a woman who, while she could have stood on her head before both World War I and World War II and been more successful than the CEO of the earth, would be definitively forgotten if she’d failed again in the post-war world. Like her old contemporary Poiret. Ingratitude rules the world, but at the end of a journey in which I have tried all the biopics about Coco, I am glad to be richer by knowing more about this personality. I'd probably never follow someone who's completed the transformation of Roma Schneider from a Berlin-Vienna star to an Italian-French actress, but fortunately, Coco is not and never was just the designer of a single costume in a Visconti film, just as she was never just the name behind a famous perfume. The story of Chanel is the story of the 20th century that I admire so much. At the beginning is emotional chaos in Art Nouveau costumes, followed by the turmoil of war and then a new breath. And in the 1950s there is the final defeat of the New Look phenomenon, which never really suited anyone anyway. (03/01/2015)
