Movie Preview: Love Songs

Like Audrey Tautou's movie Priceless, I'm completely smitten by the poster and trailer for Love Songs, a movie from French filmmaker Christophe Honore. Everything in the preview screams "French": a love triangle, pretty singing, heartbreak, and the glittering streets of Paris as the backdrop.

The musical, opening in limited release in America on March 21, follows a man and a woman who invite another woman into their relationship to spice things up. As the IFC site for Love Songs explains, the heart of the story comes when tragedy strikes and "these young Parisians are forced to deal with the fragility of life and love."

Movie Preview: Priceless Starring Audrey Tautou

Don't you just love this poster, with that Tiffany blue background and the gorgeous main star, Audrey Tautou, front and center? I don't often see movie posters that I would love to have in my home, but this is one I would put up in a heartbeat.

Drawn in by the elegant poster and Tautou's sweet image, I had to watch the trailer for Priceless, a French film coming to America in limited release on March 28. Tautou plays Irene, a "golddigger" who lives in luxury by taking up with rich older men. Yet she soon finds herself engaged in a competition with a bartender-turned-gigolo for wealthy older women. What happens, then, when the golddigger and the gigolo fall in love?

The goofball silliness of the story combined with the brightly colored French Riviera and, of course, the irresistible Tautou makes this a movie I definitely plan to catch in a few weeks.

Can I say it again? She's just so charming and adorable! To watch the preview,

Audrey Tautou to Play CoCo Chanel

Variety is reporting from Cannes that Audrey Tautou will play famous French designer CoCo Chanel in a biopic. French screenwriter/actress Anne Fontaine will spearhead the project. The article continues:

The film, which will focus on Chanel's childhood and early womanhood, was specially conceived with Tautou in mind, said Haut et Court's Caroline Benjo.

"Anne said she would only make a film about Chanel if Audrey was in the lead. They met and both liked the idea."

Said Benjo: "It isn't really a biopic because it is about Chanel before she became famous, it is about the events and people that shaped her."

Included in these events will most likely be Chanel's stint as a cabaret singer — her first career choice — where she gained the nickname "CoCo" while singing "Who's Seen Coco in the Trocadero." At the cabaret, Chanel began sewing the stage clothes of cabaret stars, ultimately leading to her career in fashion. As a huge fan of Audrey Tautou's, I am anxiously awaiting this project so I can once again watch her do her usual charming and adorable thing.
