I am French so I did not need to read the subtitles, and some of the songs featured in the movie were sung by my grand mother at family occasions!!!Danièlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18378805779170435364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-78393618910475386852010-06-06T17:50:17.413-04:002010-06-06T17:50:17.413-04:00Coco Chanel is one of my favorite designers I.I li...Coco Chanel is one of my favorite designers I.I liked fashion inspiration of this film when I saw it.<br />http://pinupdolls01.blogspot.com/Hep~Kittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17280426869453804507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-57358687266233012312010-06-06T13:24:40.901-04:002010-06-06T13:24:40.901-04:00I've seen a made for TV version of this but I ...I've seen a made for TV version of this but I love Audry Tatou so I am looking forward to seeing this more.

For those ...Anastasia- oh, what a scandal that was! For those of you who may not know what we're talking about, apparently Coco Chanel had an affair with a high ranking Nazi official during the nazi occupation of Paris. At first, I thought that maybe she was naive but in reading further, I found that she took advantage of the law banning Jews to own businesses during the war and took over her perfume company, which was ran by a Jewish family...bad move, Coco! She was exiled to Switzerland for 15 years after that incident. Yes, Anastasia, that made me sad too! :( I don't know if you call that being a war profiteer or just a jerk but in any rate, that scandal has hurt her name since ww2 and has lost her many valuable customers! tsk, tsk!!Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-8997805724607500852010-06-06T02:41:41.746-04:002010-06-06T02:41:41.746-04:00I have been wanting to watch this since it came ou...I have been wanting to watch this since it came out. I love chanel and Audrey Tatou. Although just recently read an article about chanel during WW2 that was very unflattering.

I do know a lot of Americans who say "I don't watch movies with subtitles!" too bad, they're missing out on a lot of great movies!! Speaking of Audrey Tatou and great movies, I saw Amelie for the very first time last week....oh, I'm in love! I made my husband watch it when me when he got home from work. He stayed up till 1am watching it! He loves it too!!Brittany_Va-VoomVintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04377031677999463069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1085997960024984026.post-49093709006275647262010-06-04T19:11:06.993-04:002010-06-04T19:11:06.993-04:00I thought the movie was a visual feast but I am a ...I thought the movie was a visual feast but I am a huge Audrey Tautou fan, so I love all her films.

Though, Audrey Tautou is lovely as always.Marloeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02425289728584231745noreply@blogger.com
