022. Watch 100 never-seen-before movies (12/100)

I have a subscription to LoveFilm which I don't really use anymore and have had the film 'Coco Before Chanel' in the DVD drawer for a long, long time. I'd never felt in the mood to watch it, until today.

Although, a foreign film with subtitles is not the best thing to watch when you're trying to eat....I had to keep looking at my bowl instead of the TV!

I did enjoy the movie, but found it hard work - I didn't really know anything about the Coco story which I might have benefited from had I read about her before watching. Her complete story still isn't that clear to me, but I got the general idea.

Time to refresh my LoveFilm list?
