On May 24, 2009, a movie debuted at the Cannes Film Festival about two world famous celebrities. They were the famed French designer Coco Chanel and Russian musician Igor Stravinsky. The movie was selected as the Closing Firm of the festival. It was simply titled Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky.

This French film is based on Chris Greenhalgh's novel that he wrote in 2002. The book and movie were written as fictional tales, however they are based on factual events. The alleged affair between Coco and Igor only lasted a short while the pair lived in Paris, France during the early 1920's.

This is also the same year that famous, Chanel No. 5 was created. 2009 was a big year for movies based on the life of the famed designer. That same year, Audrey Tautou starred in a film called Coco avant Chanel that was directed by Anne Fontaine. Coco avant Chanel was not as big of a success as this one.

The storyline of the movie is an intriguing look into the affair. It begins in Paris, France. It is 1913 and Coco Chanel is in attendance at the premier of Igor Stravinsky's outrageous ballet, The Rite of Spring. The musical scores and the racy choreography offended some audience members who preferred more classical and demure ballet.

The music and dance appalled the large audience, which sets off the biggest musical riot in history. But, young Coco was not offended in the least. In fact, she enjoyed the show and is especially interested in Igor when she sees him storming out of the angry theater.

It is seven years before the designer and the musician come into contact again. In 1920 Coco is a world renowned designer with a successful business. However, she is mourning her last lover, Arthur Capel. She meets Igor when he is forced to flee from Russia after the Russian Revolution. He has fled to France for safety. There is an instant attraction between the two.

Coco allows Igor, his children, and his lovely wife to stay in her villa that is on the outskirts of Paris. During the time he and his family are living there, Coco and Igor begin to have an affair. During this affair, both of their work becomes greater due to the love and passion that they feel for one another. It is during this time that Chanel No. 5, Coco's most famous perfume is released. It is also during this period that Igor Stravinsky starts to produce his best work. His music is filled with passion and is somewhat freeing, more than before he began the triste with France's most well known designer. As with any deceptive affair, the couple is soon caught by Igor's wife and the affair comes to an end.

The film was directed by Jan Kounen, and Chris Greenhalgh also wrote the screenplay. It was filmed in both French and English. Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky stars Mads Mikkelsen as Igor and Ann Mouglalis as Coco. It opened in theaters across the world in 2009 after the initial viewing at the Cannes Film Festival.
