If you loved Farinelli, try Coco Before Chanel
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / History territory. If that's the register that drew you to Farinelli, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Coco Before Chanel is
Downton Abbey if Edith had a plan. Coco Chanel sings in a dive bar while sewing for other performers. An affair with a baron provides access to a higher social strata where she can develop her design talents. Audrey Tautou makes this biopic sing.
