In Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky, which was chosen as the closing film for the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, and which was released in the United States on June 11th, we learn about the affair between the French designer and the Russian composer.
The film is based on the 2002 novel Coco & Igor by Chris Greenhalgh, and is wonderfully entrancing despite its over two-hour run time – but not because of the actual story being told.
