Coco Before Chanel

Allowed 105 minutes • 2009 • 6.7

This film is based on Edmonde Charles-Roux's biography L'irrégulière and is about the legendary fashion designer Coco Chanel and how her life led to her career as one of the world's most influential fashion designers. From relatively scarce circumstances, she crossed a patriarchal world and became a role model for an entire industry. "It's a biography as stylish and well-crafted as a Chanel bag, and a fascinating portrait of a willful heroine," Karolina Fjellborg writes in Aftonbladet.
