Coco Before Chanel
This movie is almost flawless and perfect. The characterization, acting and as usual the cinematography is beautiful. The use of aperture and depth of field is something I idolize when I take photographs. It almost made me cry in the theatre. I always knew that Coco Chanel built an empire (when that was almost unheard of for a woman) and defined a lot of the constructs of the 'modern' women, free from the constructs of clothing (and thus symbolically free from the male's dominating force shown through beauty constructs) It was incredibly beautiful and sad.
Les Miserables (1998; directed by Billie August)
Ok. The trailer is a little cheesy but Liam Neeson in an epic power struggle with Geoffrey Rush? So good.
