Comments: This TV movie attempts to explain the complicated individual who became such a big name in the French fashion scene. Miss Chanel propelled her practical, and groundbreaking, ideas to world-renown through sheer determination.
Normally, I don't watch this type of film. This one is pretty good. I could have done without the excessively long romantic scenes. I would have, instead, enjoyed seeing more of the woman's art. The flashback method of storytelling is freshened with clever visual transitions. If you have even a passing interest in fashion, then this is probably a film to see.
