French trailer for Coco Avant Chanel is inexplicably in French! But that only makes it prettier. HD here.
House of Chanel art director Karl Lagerfeld supervised re-creations of the legendary designer’s attire. Director Anne Fontaine’s adaptation of Edmonde Charles-Roux’s biography “L’irreguliere” will focus on Chanel’s early years, and opens in France on April 22.
Posted these photos last August. More after the cut, including the glamorous one-sheet (thanks to Sebastian).

This is like a dream come true. My two loves: fashion and movies coming together.
More than any other designer, Coco Chanel’s designs tell her life story as well. The chain on the iconic 2.55 flap bag was inspired by rosary nuns carried at the orphanage Coco Chanel spent many years.
Audrey Tautou looks great. We can pencil in the costume nomination.
Wow! Audrey Tautou looks stunning!
Those French actresses are so talented and gorgeous!!
Audrey Tautou, Marion Cotillard, Juliette Binoche, Julie Delpy, Catherine Deneuve, Jeanne Moreau, Isabelle Hupert, Isabelle Adjani … and the list goes on. They are «Magnifiques!»
French Version one sheets look nice. ^_^

Thanks Sebastian. Nice catch. So nice, I had to add it to the top of the page.
Sorry, I tried to like it, but I thought it was boring….
Glad they kept it in french. It looks splendid and Audrey, as usual, is radiant. This is the calibre of talent that deserves to be winning Oscars…not she-I-shall-not-name. English supremacy and subtitle-shy Americans will probably be staying away from this one…I won’t.
Audrey should get a best actress nod…but its too early to tell.
Bonne chance mademoiselle Tatou, Je vous soutient à cent pour cent
Wow impressive. Nice cinematography also; Tautou has given such a magnificent performance in Amelie that its difficult imagining her as someone else, but this does it.

Thanks a lot for the trailer, I hadn’t seen that yet.
It’s such a coincide, too, since I posted a series of “Coca avant Chanel” film stills on my site earlier today, including loads more not included in your AD update:

Cheers
And we have an American actor doing it in French…
I’m calling it now:
Audrey will score a Globe nomintion in Comedy/Musical, since it’s about fashion, and fashion is fun, and fun is sort of a synonym for comedy. The fact that it’s dramatic will have nothing to do with it.
She’ll be skipped over at the Oscars (likely 6th choice), since “the costumes” were the “true stars of the movie”.
