Coco avant Chanel (2009)
Visually enjoyable, but issues with sound/music
Beautiful looking film and very fascinating if you are interested in fashion. The costumes were amazing and enjoyable visually most of the time. The locations were grand and played a strong part in who Chanel became and what she created. The acting was pretty good, but it seemed like the voices were dubbed. Also I have to wonder who put the music in the film. It was cheesy, sometimes not appropriate , and very very very repetitive. The music often was too loud and detracted from the scene.
I do have to stress this piece would not be enjoyable for very many men. It is a romantic biographical drama and is not quick paced. I can enjoy slow paced but sometimes it was too drawn out. If you enjoy fashion and biographies and a little romance the film is worth watching.
The Pet (2006)
Bad Bad Acting
Yes there were problems with the plot, but the acting was so bad I could not stand to watch the entire movie. The main character was just plain pathetic. I think someone could have convinced to chop off her own hands for the hell of it. Oh and who did wardrobe? He is wealthy so he wears nothing but a very out of style suit for the first part of the movie (the same one day after day). Obviously the wardrobe person or director never met a wealthy man. She also wears only two very unstylish outfits before she becomes his pet. Really this movie is not worth watching. I also found that the situation was very unrealistic. At first he is going to go buy some girl from the slave trade that the animal shelter people don't notice is in a cage. Then he is not doing that but instead wooing his soon to be pet instead. I just can't believe how much these characters just did not make any sense.
