Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky (2009)
Paris 1913. Coco Chanel is infatuated with the rich and handsome Boy
Capel, but she is also compelled by her work. Igor Stravinsky's The Rite
of Spring is about to be performed. The revolutionary dissonances of
Igor's work parallel Coco's radical ideas. She wants to democratize
women's fashion; he wants to redefine musical taste. Coco attends the
scandalous first performance of The Rite in a chic white dress. The
music and ballet are criticized as too modern, too foreign. Coco is
moved but Igor is inconsolable. Paris 1920, Coco is newly wealthy and
successful but grief-stricken after Boy's death in a car crash. Igor,
following the Russian Revolution is now a penniless refugee living in
exile in Paris. Coco is introduced to Igor by Diaghilev, impresario of
the Ballets Russes. The attraction between them is instant and electric.
Coco invites Igor along with his wife - now sick with consumption -
together with his four children and a menagerie of birds to stay at her
new villa, Bel Respiro, in Garches.
