A Masterpiece of Cinematography !

Warning: Spoilers
I loved this movie so much that I had to leave a comment here even though I've never been fond of Stravinsky's music. I walked in expecting another mushy love story and discovered something completely different. The story unfolds very slowly, yet I was never bored for a moment.

Another reviewer hit the nail just right when he said: "Coco & Igor is mesmerizing in the beauty and care of the camera shots as well as the care taken with the set decoration and lighting."

This movie should be required study for any student learning the art of movie making.

The mood and feel it creates cannot be explained in a few sentences. It overwhelms your senses without using a single Hollywood explosion. It takes the viewer into a special unique world with incredible Camera direction, a rich beautiful texture of a backdrop and a "lust" story unlike any you've seen. The acting is superb and completely invisible, especially the character of Chanel played by Anna Mouglalis.

Every aspect of this movie seems to have been measured to the millimeter, just the right amount of dialogue, just the right amount of music at the right moment. Every camera shot, every facial expression tells you more about the situation than any words would have been able to. It is like watching a painting that comes to life with music. Watch closely and you'll see!
