 Rating:  - A lush, compelling portrait of Coco Chanel's life and passionsCoco Chanel is quoted as having said: "So many worries are gone when one decides not to be something but to be someone." How well that describes Coco herself, a strong-willed woman who decided to "be someone" and, through tremendous persistence and drive, ended up doing just that -- in the process changing women's fashions forever.
