Coco Before Chanel
Before she was France's famous mademoiselle…
Directed by Anne Fontaine
Produced by Haut et Court, Ciné-@
A period drama tracing Coco Chanel's rise from orphaned poverty to high society through talent, ambition, and romantic opportunity, rendered with visual elegance and wistful reflection on past hardship.
Several years after leaving the orphanage, to which her father never returned for her, Gabrielle Chanel finds herself working in a provincial bar. She's both a seamstress for the performers and a singer, earning the nickname Coco from the song she sings nightly with her sister. A liaison with Baron Balsan gives her an entree into French society and a chance to develop her gift for designing.
