Amazing performance from Audrey Tautou !!!
This is a sad , but real story about the life of Coco Chanel, the Stylist. Her poor life before be famous, her love life with some bad persons, that didn't wont her, because she was poor and bad "dressed" . Some ironics from life!
Indeed, she was a wonderful personality, criative, sensitive , and the stupids men, never knew how to be nice with her.
So, she die alone!
