Audrey Tautou as Coco Chanel in the Frenchiest Trailer Ever
The idea of French superstar Audrey Tatutou playing designer Coco Chanel makes plenty of sense; if anything, it's as on the Gallic nose as Michael Bay's idea of Paris as a place solely occupied by escargot-adjacent mimes. Still, even we were unprepared for the sheer, dangerous levels of Frenchiness present in the new trailer for Coco Before Chanel.
How French is it? Let us count the ways...
Un. Sony Pictures Classics logo, followed by intonation from the universally affordable "foreign language film" narrator
Deux. Tacitly condoned infidelity with a male mistress (a mister?)...that's sooo French, am I right, guys?
Trois. Kitchen-sink poverty ameliorated by jaunty French singing? Quelle something!
Quatre. At 1:29, I believe that's a Seurat-inspired beach scene I spy.
Cing. OK, I don't have anything else, my brain's been scrambled by the sight of Alessandro Nivola in a mustache, cooing in French. Amuse bien!

I guess the sleeping with the Nazi spy came "After Chanel" instead of "Before."
i'm holding out for the english language version with megan fox. which would be stretch for all parties.
