Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky
You may have seen the previous film about Coco Chanel in her youth. This film (with a different actress) covers the affair she had with the married Russian composer Igor Stravinsky.
Stravinsky is struggling somewhat because his music is very avant garde for the time. Chanel is very wealthy and secretly supports his entire performance season, theatre, staff, dancers, orchestra...all. She has a beautiful country house (mansion) and invites him to move in with his family - wife and five kids. She commutes back and forth to Paris to her Chanel studios.
Once moved in, Chanel sets out to seduce Stavinsky. Soon they are having an affair under the same roof with his wife and kids.
Film is R rated for sex scenes. Acting is excellent, setting is gorgeous and of course, the Chanel clothes are beautiful.
