www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/movies/coco-chanelI had no idea where to slot this thread, so here it lies. This was brought to my attention by an old chum whom I had inadvertanly exposed to Coco back in high school. So, when she called me in near hysterics about this Lifetime event, she had the grand notion that this was Shirley MacLaine as Coco Chanel in Coco: The Musical. I appropriately died and looked up the air date online and was thoroughly disappointed that it's merely a biographical retrospective somethingorother. But a FLASHY one it will be, no doubt. Just, FYI.

love that shirley. look at what she says about 'the apartment' toward the end ... one of the best movies ever made. imho. Yes! Billy Wilder is one of my favorite directors, so I fully understand your soft spot for The Apartment. 'Twas the first of the seriocomedies [well, it finally pegged the genre] ; later to be named the dramedy. Love love looooove. And there is a place in my heart reserved for Shirley as well. GIVE MY DAUGHTER THE SHOT! |

A film containing only 1/3rd Shirley MacLaine is epic fail. Why tease me with The Mac only to take her away in the next scene! Ahhh!
I still maintain it should have been the musical sans music. I wouldn't have a problem seeing Shirley exclaim "Shit!" after the failed reception of her collection.

I just saw this movie last week and I found it pretty good indeed! It is fasinating, the acting was good and the costumes were great! The brother of a teacher I had last year made them, they began 2 years ago I think. I like this movie and the two Coco! NOt to talk about the real Coco...a GREAT LADY! period.

Here is more on Shirley MacLaine (CC from circa 1954) - (young Coco is played by Barbara Bobulova)  www.wmagazine.com/celebrities/2008/04/chanel_biopic?currentPage=1www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/full-movies/coco-chanel/video/1772834354There are in fact 3 (maybe 4) films in the works about Coco Chanel - Coco Chanel (2008) with Shirley MacLaine (completed)
- Coco avant Chanel (shooting started in Sept. in France) with Audreay Tautoo (Amelie)
- The Secret Story of Chanel and Stravinsky with Anna Mouglalis
- Coco & Igor if not the same as TSSoCaS
 But somehow - am more looking forward to this film Coco avant Chanel covering her early life - with Audrey Tautou as CC. The film focuses on the years of the great seamstress: how a young woman of very modest, self-taught, but with a personality out of the ordinary, becomes a symbol of success and freedom, which invented the modern woman after Incarnate. The film is based on the biography L’irrégulière / The world of Coco Chanel / Chanel and Her World by Edmond Charles-Roux. To read more news about Coco avant Chanel www.imdb.com/title/tt1035736/news#ni0557752The last Chanel bio on its way - Chanel et Stravinsky, l’Histoire Secrete / The Secret Story of Chanel and Stravinsky ( Mads Mikkelsen as Igor Stravinsky the Russian composer) which is set between 1913 to 1925 .  Paris, 1913. Coco Chanel is loving the young and wealthy Boy Chapel, but is especially dedicated to his work. Igor Stravinsky repeats Le Sacre du Printemps. The revolutionary dissonances of the score composer reminiscent in many ways the work of radical creative. Coco went to the First du Sacre du Printemps dressed with a bright white robe as opposed to evening dress of the bleak Parisian bourgeoisie. Too modern and unconventional, music and ballet are conspués a room beside the riot. Igor est inconsolable. Igor is inconsolable. Seven years later, Coco, despite its success, is devastated by the disappearance of Boy, who died in a car accident. Igor, following the Russian Revolution is now a refugee in Paris, ruined. Diaghilev The Russian ballet impresario organize their meeting. They are fascinated by one another. Coco Igor offers to host in his new villa in Garches. The composer settled there in early summer, accompanied by his wife Catherine (with TB), their four children and a menagerie of birds.It might be interesting to know: Audrey Tautou is also the new face for Chanel No. 5. and Anna Mouglalis is a muse to Karl Lagerfeld - he still designs for Chanel and for both women in their films. All three films are covered here www.fash-eccentric.com/2008/07/three-times-a-charm-coco-chanel-biopic/ www.fashionologie.com/1780053 Am off to the libray to find the book now  |
