Igor Stravinsky In 1913, the Russian composer, Igor Stravinsky, MADS MIKKELSEN, comes to Paris with his colleagues Diaghalev and Nijinsky, to perform his modernist ballet, "Rite of Spring" before a disenchanted and in some cases openly hostile audience. One member of the audience that night is the newly celebrated designer, Coco Chanel, ANNA MOUGLALIS. Seven years later, after the Revolution has brought drastically sweeping changes to Russia, Stravinsky, his sickly wife, Elena Morozova, and their four children are stranded in the French capital. Chanel, an admirer of Stravinsky s work, offers them a place to live and embarks on an affair with the composer. This film more or less begins where Anne Fontaine s biopic, which was released in France a couple of months before this, left off; but Jan Kounen s film, though visually all you could wish for, is dramatically less interesting than Fontaine s, which told the Chanel story from her humble origins as she rose up the ladder of success. The relationship between the Chanel and Stravinsky is, as the unsubtle title confirms, the core of the film but it s not that involving because they re both basically rather unpleasant characters, at least as portrayed here they re self centred, selfish and really rather boring. Kounen adds a few stylistic flourishes, ELENA MOZOROVA is lovely as the betrayed wife, and the film is very handsomely photographed and designed, an art deco Sycamores 33 Larry Bird White Hardwood Legends Basketball Stitched NCAA Jersey lover s dream. But it s not a very fulfilling drama. MARGARET: No, it isn t. It s surprising. And, you know, really they re it s enough to make you stop fancying Mads Mikkelsen, this film. He goes through the whole film with one expression Fighting Irish 1 Louis Nix III White Shamrock Series Stitched NCAA Jersey on his face. DAVID: Can I say I never fancied him. MARGARET: No, well, you know, I m really pleased to hear that, David. But everything so muted, it s like it s not worthwhile happening. Even the sex in this film is boring and that s sort of like a major achievement, I think. DAVID: I thought the depiction of the presentation of Rite of Spring at the beginning. MARGARET: Is fabulous. MARGARET: It starts out with a bang. DAVID: Wonderful start to the film, Yes. MARGARET: And it was something that caused such a stir in Paris at the time. DAVID: Yes. Yes. And the film makes you understand why, actually. MARGARET: Yes. Yes. But, you see, I think the interesting character in this film is the wife. DAVID: Mm, I agree. MARGARET: And I think it s a lovely performance by Elena Mozorova because and, actually, that s the interesting story, because she actually takes down or writes down all of his music. You know, she is a true collaborator of his. She was married to him forever, even though she had tuberculosis, I think, but he still had another lover for like, well, 30 years of life. DAVID: Apart from Chanel. MARGARET: But she he sort of split his time between the wife and the family Ducks Blank White Stitched NCAA Jersey and the girlfriend, whom he later married.
