2008139 min6.6 / 10

A biographical drama tracing Coco Chanel's ascent from orphanage poverty to fashion icon, balancing romantic entanglements and personal ambition with the melancholy of sacrifice and reinvention.

Fashion icon Coco Chanel, steeped in wealth and fame, still issues game-changing designs and collections. The audience is taken backwards in time to the woman's upbringing in an orphanage, and traces her path to ubiquity as it winds through poverty, wars, doomed romances, and rather glamorous betrayals.
