If The Devil Wears Prada and/or its deformed stepchild Confessions of a Shopaholic is your idea of a movie about fashion, then don't see Coco Before Chanel. You'll be sorely disappointed. Where those movies are unapologetic, orgiastic celebrations of the fashion world's outrageous hedonism, Coco (which opens today in New York and Los Angeles) is a paring down, a much-needed trimming of the superficial fat of fashion film. In fact it's less of a fashion flick than a historic sojourn to the roots of style, born in the ardent vision of a dogged opportunist. And if the movie takes itself a bit too somberly because of that, it's still a far more important view of fashion than the typical stylistas-on-steroids treatment doled out by movies and television.
