I am hesitant about posting a foreign language trailer, but this one does fine. It’s visual, provocative and truthful. The story starts in Paris 1913 where Coco Chanel is completely absorbed in her work and madly in love with the handsome and very wealthy Arthur ‘Boy’ Capel.  At the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées, Igor Stravinsky premieres his Rite of Spring. Coco attends the premiere and is mesmerized. But the revolutionary work is too modern, too radical: the enraged audience boos and jeers. A near-riot ensues. Stravinsky is inconsolable. 7 years later, Coco is now rich, respected and successful; yet she is devastated by Boy Capel’s death. She meets Stravinsky, once again, who is now a penniless refugee living in exile in Paris after the Russian Revolution.

Although never proven as fact, Coco and Stravinsky spark an immediate and emotional attraction between them. Coco offers Stravinsky the use of her new villa in Garches, so that he will be able to work, and he moves in straight away, with his children and consumptive wife. And so a passionate, intense love affair between two creative giants begins.
