Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky

Thank you.

Coco!

Is it always like this?

When I finance it, yes.

I thought Boy was coming.

So did I.

Look, Mama.

Yes.

Wish your father luck, my angel.

Good luck, Papa.

Thank you.

Wait in the corridor.

I'll be out in a minute.

Don't worry.

All will be well.

God be with you, my love.

Forget melody, follow the rhythm.

Forget Tchaikovsky, Wagner, Strauss...

Forget everything you've heard before.

Whatever happens, follow me.

Legs parallel. Your arm!

It's too stiff!

Put more life into it!

Vaslav Niiinski, stop.

We're all on edge.

I want more life!

Diaghiliev, tell him.

Later...

The theatre is packed.

They're in for a surprise.

They won't know what's hit them.

CHANEL COCO & IGOR STRAVINSKY

It's outrageous!

What a din!

Go back to Russia!

Quick, get to your positions.

Remember,

follow the rhythm, count,

and dance to the beat.

Call a dentist!

Call 2 dentists!

Quiet, you stuck-up b*tches!

Let them finish!

- Sit down!

- Hands off!

The lights!

Lights on!

Off!

Tremble!

Lights on!

Jump! Jump!

Don't get desperate, son.

God tests harder those whom

He loves the most.

What a shame!

Such dispect to the music.

Glorious!

Are you leaving?

No.

What did you expect?

You've seen the audience.

This people are used to...

watching stuff like...

"Swan Lake" or "Sleeping Beauty".

They have no taste in music.

It seems too different and new to them.

They couldn't dance.

Their ability was not enough.

No, Igor.

I refuse this.

We've worked hard.

They danced like idiots.

They couldn't feel the rhythm.

They danced in complete harmony...

with your ridiculous music.

Vaslav, wait!

People react to anything that's new.

You've created a new language.

but we both know that

you created a masterpiece.

Do you know what a man who

confronted a monster should do?

Should he battle him?

No.

He should sing.

Singing is...

Thank you for coming.

There is someone

I want to introduce to you.

Really?

Baron, I ask for your generosity again.

When the bar get closed, I said

"Damn, we've lost our chance again."

But doesn't she say that

he is also going to the same way?

When we got to hotel, I was

getting myself ready to say good-bye...

and she said

she is staying at the same hotel.

I've seen her for the

first time in my life...

but we spent the night together.

Duke Dimitri, being an exhale

doesn't slow you down.

With your permission,

I'd like to introduce Gabriele Chanel.

Igor Stravinsky.

- I see your name everywhere.

- I'm pleased to meet you.

I'm glad to see you again.

Coco.

Excuse me.

Even mourning looks classy on her.

Does she mourn her husband?

Her lover.

They called him "Boy".

He died in a car accident.

Such a tragedy.

Forget about the Mamists

and the Bolsheviks.

Gentlemen, enough already.

Stop talking politics.

Everyone, toast please.

For the victory of Russian ballet.

Hello.

Thank you.

I'm late.

I'm patient.

Is it true that you compose

your work in this room?

The world turned upside down and

we've found ourselves in here.

This is 20th century.

I'd like to help financially.

Would you mind?

I'd be if it were a couple of years ago.

What about now?

I mind more now.

I'm taking care of myself.

I have a villa outside Paris.

A quiet place, has a big garden.

It's no palace but not so bad either.

You can meet if you want.

But my family is...

They could come as well.

You're not going to abandon them.

I can't accept this.

Why did you call me?

For a very simple reason.

I admire your music...

and I want to help you.

You don't know me.

We can sort that part out.

Excuse me.

Thank you.

I have to go.

Excuse me.

See you soon.

Katia, I have good news.

Lean forward, please.

Black windows...

I've never seen anything like it.

- Welcome, Madame.

- Hello.

Hello, Madame.

- Welcome.

- Thank you for inviting us.

It's an honour to have you.

I hope the air will do you good.

Hello.

Welcome.

Delighted you decided to come.

I'll show you your rooms.

Follow me.

Take off your hats.

It's not really a family house

but never mind. This way.

I thought the boys could go in here.

Do you like China?

For the girls, the Moorish room.

Be careful!

Not bad at all.

We turned a sofa into a bed.

For the little girl.

It's so pretty!

This is your room.

It's my favourite.

You don't like colour,

Mademoiselle Chanel?

As long as it's black.

I'll leave you. You must be tired.

How are you feeling?

The children seem happy.

I'll be downstairs.

Let me show you your study.

Gladly.

Will you be able to work here?

Yes.

I'd love to play.

You sing, don't you?

Like a crow.

All right.

You're leaving?

I'm needed at the shop.

I'll be back tomorrow.

Thank you.

Can I play outside?

No.

Put that there.

Help me.

Get on the bed.

Hold this end

and put it over there.

Hurry up!

Ready?

... lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

They've made borscht!

I miss Russian borscht so much...

Mama, serve me.

Wait a minute.

I really like it here.

We thought you'd like it.

Thank you.

We're lucky.

Mademoiselle Chanel invited us.

Aren't we, Papa?

Yes.

Thank you.

Mademoiselle?

Shall I lock up?

No, you can go. I'll do it.

Thank you.

- Goodbye, Mademoiselle.

- Good night, Julie.

Again!

Harder, Papa.

Yes, higher!

Even higher!

Go on, Papa!

Yes.

All right?

I'm sorry.

Bring me some water, please.

What's wrong with her?

It's nothing, she's fine.

Thank you.

We should put the children to bed.

Time for bed now.

Is Mademoiselle all right?

I'm fine.

I'm sorry to see you unwell.

I'm sorry too.

Am I disturbing you?

Not at all.

He says you're his best critic.

Probably the most honest.

Childhood sweethearts?

It was beautiful.

But then you marry, have children,

and all that...

changes.

May I take a look?

Please do.

I like this.

It's just a peasant dress.

"Roubachka".

Take it, if you like.

Thank you.

- Good morning.

- Good morning, Mademoiselle.

I told you to use perfume.

Your hands...

Too long. It looks vulgar.

Very good.

Have a good day.

Have a good day, Mademoiselle.

Let's do it now.

Madame de Rothschild

wants an appointment.

I told you before,

I won't discuss a pay rise.

Is that clear?

What more do you want?

Poiret's girls...

The stitches are always wrong.

If you please...

Will you keep still!

Why do I pay you?

Stand straight, for God's sake!

Still here?

Can't you see I'm busy?

There, a clear, strong line,

you see?

I'm finished.

Send it down now.

What?

Get to work, please.

Do you compose on paper?

No, I always start at the piano.

To feel the music in my fingers.

I never make sketches either.

I need to feel the fabric.

I'm not sure it's the same.

Touch this.

Jersey cloth.

Feel how soft it is?

Comfortable...

Yes, I understand.

There.

Thank you.

changes in tempo,

here, there...

It's all in fragments,

I'm never sure if it works.

How do you manage, then?

You need to forget yourself.

Often, nothing happens
