just watched : coco before chanel

my favorite movie of all time is unabashedly amelie staring the bewitching audrey tautou. why it took me so long to see coco before chanel is a mystery. i loved it, no matter what the critics say. audrey is beguiling as the fashion icon coco chanel. she could have acted this part without speaking once; her eyes shoot right to your heart.


the movie paints for us a vision of coco chanel, who inspires by tenaciously achieving more than anyone thought possible for a women in that time and place. she defies convention, charms everyone around without compromising herself, and simply makes me want to say "to hell" with fears that hold me back.

watch this with your daughters - if they are over 13, of course :)

in order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.
