Coco And Igor Jan Kounen

French drama based on the love affair between fashion designer Coco Chanel and Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. When the wealthy and successful Coco Chanel (Anna Mouglalis) is introduced to avant-garde impresario Stravinsky (Mads Mikkelsen) in 1920s Paris, she is still smitten with the rich and handsome Boy Capel (Anatole Taubman), and is devastated when Boy is killed in a car accident. The attraction between Coco and Stravinsky is immediate, however, despite Coco's recent bereavement and the fact that Stravinsky is accompanied in his exile to France by his terminally-ill wife Katarina (Yelena Morozova) and four children.

As the two embark on a passionate affair, a subtle power play ensues between the traditionally-minded Katarina and the ultra-modern Coco.
