Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky French Movie Review :
This movie has a great atmosphere and a great actress in the leading role. Anna Mouglalis is unbelievable. I believe that her character and the prospect that the director wants to show should be a lesson for every woman that wants to be independent in our days. I would also like to comment the respect and kindness among the members of the Russian family. The film admits that Russians are strongly related to art and education. Even ordinary people appreciate the value of arts, particularly music, as it's shown in the film. On the other hand we can see a love story between two different people, a family man and a woman that she has only one goal: to live her every moment as it was her last. She doesn't care about moralities and relationships as Igor. Coco and Igor move aside their beliefs and cultures and let their passions to guide them.
If the nineteenth century gave us the best social utopias, it also gave us the most developed idea of individuality. The sacred individuality (Durkheim) is not just a metaphor, but something to die for (Heinich). Stravinsky and Chanel are entering the twentieth century affirming the supremacy of their individualities. Stravinky's notes send us straight to an unresting subjectivity. No more lakes with swans, or marvelous epic narratives, but a strong voice evoking one's darkest secrets and turmoil. Stravinsky's wife, Katia, belongs to a pre-modern world. Her praying and her religious loyalty to her husband guide her resignation. It is certainly annoying for us, impatient inhabitants of the XXI century. Igor's success is her success. For Coco, his success is the affirmation of the possibility of supreme geniality, power, originality, uniqueness. Like a rare perfume, Coco needed to belong to such nobility. Disruption seems certain when Coco is deeply disappointed: she does not earn recognition from her Igor.
However, this conflict yields an aftermath - a situation where conflict is in the open, but too much is at stake for a premature disruption. What is produced at such aftermath, at such unbearable relationship? The spring of each one's individuality. The "Le Sacre du Printemps" is for both. Both celebrating individuality and youth.
