Rex Reed

Everything works miraculously here, making Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky one of the most bountiful experiences of the year. Read full review

Rene Rodriguez

Unlike last year's "Coco Before Chanel," in which Audrey Tautou played a warmer, kinder spirit, Mouglais presents her character as steely and unbending, a woman who has built her empire on her terms and refuses to abdicate the slightest control on her life. Read full review

Andrea Gronvall

The film would have been more satisfying if director Jan Kounen (Darshan: The Embrace) had shown more of the ferment of the times. Read full review

Olivia Giovetti

The opening riot at The Rite of Spring concert sets the scene for an anticlimactic biopic, which could have been sumptuously potent had this dual portrait of artists in love been trimmed…or at least hemmed. Read full review

Marjorie Baumgarten

The costume design, however, is the film's most enthralling aspect; replicas of actual Chanel designs were created for the film, and a fresh costume graces nearly every sequence. Alas, Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky unfolds on a screen instead of a catwalk. Read full review

Karina Longworth

Here, Coco's cast as a femme fatale who preys on a helpless nebbish--the Audrey Tautou--starring "Coco Avant Chanel" was much more fun. Read full review

Kyle Smith

As portrayed by Anna Mouglalis and Mads Mikkelsen, Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky weren't exactly Rhett & Scarlett. Read full review

Le sujet en lui-même a déjà peu d'intérêt et si la réalisation se veut élégante et fluide, elle s'avère rapidement compassée et désuète pour ne pas dire pompeuse.

En effet, la Coco est une bourgeoise insupportable et une vraie pouffe qui s'habille comme un sac et qui trimbale ses colliersLe sujet en lui-même a déjà peu d'intérêt et si la réalisation se veut élégante et fluide, elle s'avère rapidement compassée et désuète pour ne pas dire pompeuse.

En effet, la Coco est une bourgeoise insupportable et une vraie pouffe qui s'habille comme un sac et qui trimbale ses colliers et ses breloques comme un revendeur de camelote qui brille sur une plage à touristes. Elle incarne la prétention et le superficiel dans toute son horreur. Une vraie connasse.

Stravinsky, lui, est un abruti qui n'a jamais pondu qu'une cacophonie abjecte, et à cet égard, le seul moment un tant soit peu intéressant du film se déroule lors de la représentation de son Sacre du printemps : le public choqué et vociférant quitte la salle à grand bruit et à raison, scandalisés par une telle diarrhée sonore.

Ces deux-là font quasiment ménage commun, prouvant par là-même que les contraires ne s'attirent pas : le mauvais goût et les débiles si.

Jan Kounen, décidément très éclectique, délivre -peut-être à son insu- un film à l'image de ces deux guignols dont les comédiens ont du mal à se dépêtrer : Mads Mikkelsen y est très constipé et Anna Mouglalis aussi glamour qu'une vieille porte de prison rouillée.

Enfin, et comme si cela ne suffisait pas, le caractère lancinant permanent dont est victime le film le rend particulièrement pénible à regarder, aussi pénible que le fond sonore de Stravinsky : on ferme donc les yeux et on se bouche les oreilles, catastrophés devant une telle calamité audio-visuelle.… Expand
