COCO CHANEL & IGOR STRAVINSKY (2009)

JAN KOUNEN

Plot

Picking up pretty much from where 'Coco Before Chanel' finished, this film explores the relationship between the French fashion icon and the radical Russian-born composer. Having initially met at a premiere of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, their relationship is rekindled seven years later. By now, Chanel is rich and respected, but Stravinsky is living in exile as a penniless refugee. As Chanel begins creating her iconic perfume No5 Stravinsky moves into her villa along with his children and consumptive wife. A passionate love affair between the two creative giants commences. An immaculate looking and full-blooded period drama.
