Beautifully Captivating!, February 23, 2010
This review is from: I Want to Be a Dream Girl #1 (DVD)
I think I am in love with slow, subtle and very in depth movies. This is a winner!
I loved Julie and Julia for the character sketches of these two women and the men who loved them and all the wining and ding that went with it.
Coco is captivating in its subtly beautiful portrayal of a somewhat tragic yet conquering heroine.
The cinematography is gorgeous, the characters are deep, and Coco Chanel is a triumph.
Audrey Tatou does a wonderful job of portraying this cliché of "rags to riches" in a very dignified and triumphant way. And really Coco Chanel was a truly rags to riches life so is it really cliché?
This movie is in subtitles and very quickly you forget that it is. If you loved Babette's Feast you know what I mean.
See this movie and be captivated!
