Another Coco, Another Show
Judging by her recent TV movie, Shirley MacLaine couldn’t summon up one of her thousands of past lives to find Coco Chanel. French actress Audrey Tautou looks to be luckier, judging from this trailer for the upcoming movie “Coco Avant Chanel.” Flick’s a French-language drama about the legendary couturiere, and from the looks of the trailer (which is — sorry! — without English subtitles for the moment) appears to be a lavish period piece. (It’s in theaters in France next month. Still waiting on a release date here.) The spot teases the love triangle between Chanel and two different men, one of whom is played by my old friend Alessandro Nivola. You can hear his slightly accented French in the trailer’s voiceover, whispering seductively, “You have a different destiny. You are like no one else.” Mon dieu!
