Coco Chanel: The Queen of Haute Couture

There will be two biopics about the fashion designer at cinema. Anne Fontaine is making a movie about the young Coco with Audrey Tautou. In William Friedkins movie Marina Hands will be the female part of the lovestory "Coco and Igor", playing side by side with Mads Mikkelsen as the compositor Igor Stravinsky.

Mads Mikkelsen in Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky

Surprising, maybe, but the man behind the bleeding-eyed, European-accented villain of undefined national origin in Casino Royale has a growing cult-following as a slightly unearthly sex symbol. Mikkelsen is haunting and impressive all at once, particularly in Coco, which just opened stateside; the Danish actor plays the French-speaking, Russian musical genius who bedded the famous fashion designer. The range in his talent is further on display in Valhalla Rising, in which Mikkelsen—who also happens to be a former dancer—has no lines in his role as the lethal, mute, barbaric, half-blind Viking gladiator called One-Eye. It is only a matter of time before Hollywood comes calling for this mysterious-looking and untraditional leading man.
