Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky
7.99 € En savoir +WatchDirector: Jan Kounen
Studios: Chris Bolzli, Claudie Ossard, Veronika, Zonabend
Release Date: 2009
Duration: 1h58
The avant-garde show choreographed by Nijinsky causes a scandal. Igor Stravinsky’s work is misunderstood by a conservative and traditionalist public. Coco Chanel is totally captivated by Igor Stravinsky’s music, which leaves her partner and great love of the time, Boy Capel, unmoved.
It was not until seven years later that Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky crossed paths again. The illustrious couturier was just recovering from the death of Boy Capel when she decided to welcome Igor Stravinsky, exiled in Paris, and his family to her Bel Respiro residence in Garches. A short but intense affair between the two began. Chanel finances the revival of The Rite of Spring, for which she owns the score. Stravinsky’s work is then interpreted by the Ballets Russes. It is considered today as the manifesto of modern music that announces the violence of the wars to come.
During their affair, Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky each asserted themselves in their own creative fields. It was when she welcomed Igor Stravinsky that Coco Chanel imagined the recipe for her famous perfume, Chanel N°5. For his part, Igor Stravinsky was finally recognized by the critics and enjoyed success.

En savoir +WatchICON-ICON OPINION: “Inside every Cartier red box, magic awaits you” is Cartier’s motto! For 160 years, Maison Cartier has inspired wonder, desire and magnificence in men and women with, even before its jewelry, the warm color of its vermilion box. This documentary offers exegesis!
Directors : Marie Brand, Minou Azoulai
Distribution : Arte France, Illégitime Défense, Rmn – Grand Palais
Release date : 2013
Duration : 0h51
Description : Cartier. Fabulous legend. A reputation as an avant-garde label, glamor, tradition and innovation, establishment and anti-conformism.
Exposition au Grand Palais : http://www.grandpalais.fr/fr/evenement/cartier-le-style-et-lhistoire
To tell Cartier is to cross the mirror of the futile to go towards the precious, from coquetry to provocation, from chic minimalism to excessive extravagance. Telling Cartier is also starting from a private story to speak sideways about more than 160 years of French history. The film will interweave the historical landmarks of the House, leave the museum, unearth archives, play on anachronism by telescoping eras; to revive these precious objects, and to open the chests; present them on the body and the skin, sensual support and final destination of a jewel. Gorgeous.
