COCO CHANEL ココ・シャネル

Even though this film is a melodrama, it's so well made that we can't but fall for Coco's challenges. We can't imagine how often she was verging on bankruptcy, and how she came out of it with a mixture of audacity, being at the right places, and bedding rich gentlemen. Barbora Bobulova（バルボラ・ボブローヴァ）is stunning as young Cocó. Probably more likable than Audrieu Tatou（オドレイ・トトゥ）. Both are fine, probably "Cocó avant Chanel" emphasizes the sad and grim aspects more while this version indulges into more romance and show us something absent from the feature film. Also in this version we see the origin of the famous perfume N 5 and her famous little black dress. Coco Chanel changed the way women dressed and also introduced a new philosophy of fashion -- women should dress for themselves and not their men, and true fashion comes from the streets. She was a powerful woman from a humble background in a class-conscious society and depended upon alliances with the wealthy to get her where she needed to go. The movie does a very good job and could not have picked anyone better to play the icon than Shirley MacLaine（シャーリー・マクレーン）, who does a fantastic job.
