看過trailer一早已決定必看"Coco Before Chanel". 不是因為Audrey Tautou, 名牌效應始終有一點吧. 而且是劇情片, 怎也有點看頭, Chanel喎, 喜歡biography式的電影(documentary就更甚, 所以一早已看過Karl Lagerfeld及Valentino的紀錄片了). 導演Anne Fontaine倒不認識.結果是頗為失望. 本沒打算看的姐姐聽我說完, 更說不去看了. 只能說是中規中矩.
110分鐘的電影, 沒有悶場, 不過亦不見有什麼精彩. 唯一令我有點鼻酸的一幕是Étienne Balsan(Benoît Poelvoorde)送Coco走時相擁那幕.
是不是因為我不喜歡Gabrielle 'Coco' Chanel的故事呢? 可能吧. 雖然是那個年代(1883-1971), 或許女人都要靠男人. 不過沒想到她的經歷原來如此... 不是說出身不好就應該如此, 只是, 一味靠男人黐男人... 看下去就不是味兒, 亦有點覺得: 噢原來她是個這樣的人...
故事發展亦不見得怎麼叱吒精彩.至於Audrey Tautou, 除了第一齣看她的"天使愛美麗"(Amélie)時覺得她可愛之後, 一直都不特別喜歡她. 那齣"Priceless"更是不看沒損失. 友人說人們喜歡她的innocent外表, 或許我從不喜歡innocent look的女人. 法國女星, 漂亮懂演戲的一大堆, 首選Ludivine Sagnier(Swimming Pool)和
Virginie Ledoyen, Tautou要即時行埋一邊. :)
假如Coco不是由Tautou來演我會否喜歡多一點? 或許會吧. 不過如果一齣電影因為一個主角而令人覺得不夠好, 那麼導演功力也成問題. 例如Marie Antoinette (瑪麗皇后), 我最討厭Kirsten Dunst的了, 但我卻非常非常喜歡此片. Anne Fontaine便做不到了.
飾演Emilienne d'Alençon的Emmanuelle Devos我倒認識, 不少法國片都由她擔綱, 是明星級的演技派. 她的出現當然為電影生色一點.
不過電影口味見人見智, 我不喜歡不代表不值得一看. 不要受我影響啊. :)

I entirely agree with you. I didn't like "pricelss" a bit! It was such a big disappointment. But I ll still give this movie a go, just for those clothes maybe. :)
Ar O, I was really looking forward of its opening night in Sydney on this Thurs....
Anyway, I think I would still give it a go.
cr: lower ur expectation a bit and u might enjoy it more :)
echo: give it a try anyway :)
我想Audrey一開始的Amelie太深刻印象了讓我永遠看她就祇記起Amelie的她...!就算她再飾演其它角色還是感到她是Amelie.
Swimming pool是我很喜歡的法國電影.那個小女名不經轉,好吸引故事也好懸疑.
你寫出來我才留意到原來是 Anne Fontaine 導的。 第一次聽到這名字該是看她的 Nettoyage à sec, 往後又看了她的 Augustin, roi du Kung-fu (1999), 張曼玉有份演。
Ludivine Sagnier is such a star! and agree on Marie Antoinette too!(come on, kirsten is not even close to pretty among the hollywood stars)
我睇到差點訓著....
CC was confined by her time, just like many of us are confined by our own time and challenges. I am sure when others look back at us, they will ask their own questions.
I am not sure if this is your style of film, but "Dirty Pretty Things" shows a different Audrey Tautou and it was better than I expected.

聶: coco裡面tautou好似蒙嘉慧, 慘不忍睹! :) Ludivine Sagnier好多齣都好掂架... 淨睇樣都殺唒 :)
michelle: 咁好無睇呢? 無機會睇呀.
jessica: yeah, Ludivine Sagnier is so so sexy and gorgeous. :) Kirsten Dunst is one of the ugliest actresses in hollywood! haha!
tessa: 咁緊要添呀? 我只係一路睇, 一路諗, 點解有人話係暫時今年最好睇嘅電影... 可能佢地無睇hkiff啲電影.
anon: thanks. i read your email too. thank you! i see different kinds of films ga. haven't seen Dirty Pretty Things though, tautou looks a bit different on the poster. let me check that out later. :)
anon: sorry u r 加燦... mixed up w/ another reader who sent me an email just now.
oooh... I'm excited to watch this! Looks like a fabulous movie~
也許故事只告訴我們"現實"的一面,所以不見得有甚麼精彩之處~
lenorenevermore: cute name! :)
karelian: 可能那個年代就是如此. 又或許Karl Lagerfeld同Valentino的lives太glamorous, 太精彩, 所以相比下Coco的一生就令人看得失落. 電影是改編原著的... 相信那書都是如此吧.
哈哈!!!終於有知影人唔喜歡Audrey Tautou的了~ 講靚佢未夠靚，講演技佢都未夠班吧~我倒喜歡Oscar影后Marion Cotillard，樣靚之餘又識做戲，Audrey點係嗰班???
samantha: 佢真係完全吸引唔到我. 不過呢齣佢算tried her best, 有進步, 不過樣越來越唔吸引... 唉... 係呀, La vie en Rose拍得唔錯, 起碼令人感動.
佢最吸引我係"Dieu est grand, je suis toute petite"，真係最靚係嗰時，其他都冇lu....
我都幾鍾意"Marie Antoinette"，但係如果唔係Dunst小姐係女主角就一定最perfect la!!!
Samantha: 嗰齣無睇呀. marie antoinette如果唔係kirsten dunst當然好好多添! :)
mad dog..
好認同..
女人靠男人成名,
原來就是這樣,
失望都係有既...
但都係一套可以睇下既戲囉!!
Mag: 我都明, 不過都係唔click囉 :)
也看出那個年代, 女人的可悲...
這電影, 我和友人都覺得不錯..
pema: 我也有朋友喜歡此片.
