CoCo before Chanel (2009)

Why did no one tell me this movie is in French? It's extraordinarily difficult to catch up on blogging while having to read subtitles :)

It's fine. Too long. Too slow. Too frugal with Audrey Tatou's talent and quirk. Much much too frugal with the fashion. I understand that it is about her life before Chanel but still. The allure of CoCo Chanel IS Chanel. All we get of Chanel is a few line of text at the end that are choppy and poorly written, even for end text and even considering a possible French to English translation.
