Yesterday nominees presented Golden Globe, being the preliminary request to the Oscars. While the films selected for Best Foreign Film are quite measurable attributes, it is noteworthy that several others left behind who also had his own as the last of Juan Jose Campanella - "The Son of the Bride" (2001) - Fernando or Trueba - "Belle Epoque" (1992) -. However, there was a long list of candidates who could well be discarded in any event film for its instability in the story and its insignificant contribution to the audiovisual industry. One of these is "Coco Avant Chanel," which, despite having features of a clean image quality and luxury apparel, falls into a lethargy which is impossible colossal wake.
What if the main character was not Coco Chanel? The movie simply would not be worth very worthwhile. The big plus is that the work tells the courageous life of Coco before founding the empire of which we all know today, however, if the character were different, the film would go unnoticed because not have that special feature that marks the great works of cinema. Not that the main character has to be known for its history is worthy of filming, as a clear example of this is " The Diving Bell and the Butterfly " (2007), the great French film chronicles the life of Jean-Dominique Bauby - editor of Elle in the 90's - which could have the main character an anonymous anyway imply a work argument powerful advantage in its full power communication has cinematography .
"Coco Avant Chanel, directed by Anne Fontaine - who revealed himself as promised in 1997 when he made "Nettoyage à sec" - has a weary pace that at times ends up encouraging the display of the time. To think that time has been wasted in the movie theater is the worst that can happen to a director and unfortunately in this work of Fontaine what happens. However, a great grace of the film is that Audrey Tautou manages to distance himself from the character of Amélie Poulain, made a credible role and subject to interpretation as demarcated by the guideline of the tape represents the work of Fontaine who managed to bring out the talent of the young French actress who after working with Jean-Pierre Jeunet was encased in a fantasy role can not perform gauge other roles in future years.
is true that French cinema has a special aura and the taste for it is quite bizarre. However, perhaps the way to approach this film by the director was wrong to run a shallow story without delving into the details that internalize the viewer with vivid feelings of the work. The game is set between the audience and displayed on the screen is essential for spontaneous applause, and if it is not presented through the story, puts at risk the success of the film by which all gears are meshing seamlessly .
Rating: 4 / 7
