Coco and Igor

If you were enthralled by the Coco Avant Chanel rags-to-riches story, you’ll love this film which offers yet another insight into her fascinating life. This time we see Chanel as a wealthy and successful businesswoman who becomes drawn to Russian composer Igor Stravinsky and his controversial work.

Grieving the loss of her lover, Chanel invites Igor and his family to move into her summer home, where the two artists get to know each other better. Despite having to look after his dying wife, Igor and Chanel find time to develop a relationship of their own, which, of course, leads them down a slippery slope. Beautifully filmed and well acted, this additional instalment of Chanel’s life is absolutely fascinating if you’re interested.
