Coco Before Chanel

I've looked everywhere over the internet but it says nothing about whether subtitles or voice-over will be used.

Although it states the language as 'french'.
 
It's not hard to follow subtitles... dubbing is bad and ruins a film, for me anyway.

Love the look of the film, can't wait.
 
ReminRAB me of a notice in a Cineworld once, warning the general public that a particular film had subtitles. Warning? Will watching such a film damage your health? Well, maybe, if you are intellectually challenged, or ignorant enough to think all films should be in English....
 
They shouldn't 'warn' people that a film has subtitles. Your own fault if you don't know. I have no sympathy for people who moan about subtitles and that stupid reason puts them off seeing it.
 
My brain's not that good, I need a Hitchhiker's Babelfish in my ear. ;)


I have no problems with subtitles but I do believe people have a right to know before reaching the cinema. The OP's clip, and the 'exclusive' clip on the Guardian website both appear purposely chosen to avoid revealing the characters language.

The film was made as 'Coco avant Chanel' . If (thankfully) the movie is not dubbed in English then it's name should be unaltered to avoid deception. A translation could appear in smaller text elsewhere on the poster but in this case it would be unnecessary as most folk have sufficient sub-GCSE French.
 
Agree.

When I saw Let the Right One In a couple near me said, at the start "oh my god is this subtitled?" and about 20 minutes later left!
 
I went to see this last night with my OH and we both enjoyed it. The film deals with her life before Chanel (that title is a dead give away ;)) thus you won't get much fashion but more about the lovers and her rise from an orphan to being a fashion designer dealing the social aspects of her approach to women's clothing going against convention. The ending felt a bit jolted, rushed and sudden though.

Before I went to see it I did not have a clue it was going to be French and subtitled until I saw the opening titles. I breathed a sigh of relief as I was pleased it wasn't going to be some Hollywood "Anglicised" biopic. Also, it was a digital projection (the first I have seen in a cinema if you exclude all the film festivals I've been to) and it was like watching a Bluray on a giant screen. :D
