    REVIEW | Out of Fashion: Anne Fontaine's "Coco Before Chanel"

    by Michael Koresky on September 21, 2009

    Following in the footsteps of the unfortunate Jane Austen biopic "Becoming Jane," Anne Fontaine's glossy period piece "Coco Before Chanel" focuses exclusively on the youthful romances of a fascinating, independent woman in the years before her professional success.

    Chaos & Claustrophobia: Toronto '09 titles from "Lebanon" to "Collapse"
