Several years after leaving the orphanage to which her father never returned for her, Gabrielle Chanel finds herself working in a provincial bar. She's both a seamstress for the performers and a singer, earning the nickname Coco from the song she sings nightly with her sister. A liaison with Baron Balsan gives her an entrée into French society and a chance to develop her gift for designing increasingly popular hats. When she falls in love with English businessman Arthur Capel further opportunities open up, though life becomes ever more complicated. 我喜歡有過去的女人。没有哪个女人能赤裸着自信。每一段经历都不是白费的。惊鸿一瞥。你要追逐的,只是你自己而已。从加布里埃尔到可可夏奈尔。当香奈儿还只是Coco。如果连星星也忘记自已是有光的。香奈儿艳史。讽刺。 1893年,因母亲去世,加布里埃尔•香奈儿的葡萄酒商父亲将她与妹妹安托妮特抛给了奥巴兹孤儿院。成年后的香奈儿(奥黛丽•塔图 Audrey Tautou 饰)与安托妮特(玛丽•吉莲 Marie Gillain 饰)一边以缝纫为生,一边在酒吧唱歌赚钱。香奈儿因一曲《小狗可可》结识了法国百万富翁艾亭奈•巴桑(贝诺特•波维德 Benoît Poelvoorde 饰),并成为了他众多情妇中的一员。在巴桑的城堡,香奈儿开始制作女帽,并与演员艾米丽安(艾曼纽•德芙 Emmanuelle Devos)成为朋友。香奈儿对取悦巴桑的生活日益不满,同时发现爱上了巴桑的好友,英国工业家阿瑟•伯邑•卡伯(亚历桑德罗•尼沃拉 Alessandro Nivola 饰)。有了伯邑的支持,香奈儿是否便能开始她一直想要的个人事业呢? 本片被提名2009年欧洲电影奖观众奖。
