At the 2009 Cannes Film Festival in May, Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky debuted. This film is about two renowned people who were having an intense love affair. They are French designer Coco Chanel and Russian musician Igor Stravinsky.
This French film is based on Chris Greenhalgh's novel that he wrote in 2002. The book and movie were written as fictional tales, however they are based on factual events. The alleged affair between Coco and Igor only lasted a short while the pair lived in Paris, France during the early 1920's.
This is also the same year that famous, Chanel No. 5 was created. 2009 was a big year for movies based on the life of the famed designer. That same year, Audrey Tautou starred in a film called Coco avant Chanel that was directed by Anne Fontaine. Coco avant Chanel was not as big of a success as this one.
The storyline of the movie is an intriguing look into the affair. It begins in Paris, France. It is 1913 and Coco Chanel is in attendance at the premier of Igor Stravinsky's outrageous ballet, The Rite of Spring. The musical scores and the racy choreography offended some audience members who preferred more classical and demure ballet.
His controversial production caused the most famous riot ever to break out in the audience. Once of the audience members that was not appalled was Coco Chanel. In fact, she rather enjoyed the ballet and is interested in Igor after seeing him storm out of the theater. However, she does not get a chance to meet him and it is a long time before they run into each other again.
It is seven years before Coco sees Igor again. She has become a successful designer and her business is thriving. But she has not been successful in love and is currently mourning her former lover, Arthur Capel. She meets Igor again when he has fled to Paris after escaping the Russian Revolution. There is an instant attraction between them.
Chanel offers Stravinsky and his family the use of her villa located on the outskirts of Paris. While he, his wife, and their children are living in the villa, Stravinsky and Chanel begin a closeted love affair. They have an intense passion for one another that shows in their work. Creatively, their work gets better. It is during their love affair that Igor's music takes on a more freeing tone. It is also during the affair that the famous perfume, Chanel No. 5 is released. The love affair quickly comes to an end when Stravinsky's wife is made aware of the affair.
Chris Greenhalgh wrote the screenplay as well. The movie was directed by Jan Kounen and filmed in English, French, and Russian. It stars Ann Mouglalis as Coco Chanel and Mads Mikkelsen as Igor. Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky opened with viewers having mixed reviews. They felt that the movie had great and exciting moments but it was not developed properly. It left the audience yearning for more. - 40728
