Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky Page #3

working for Mademoiselle Chanel?

You're happy working for her?

She's very generous.

Yes.

I don't understand her.

The war changed things.

Mademoiselle is very independent.

Will that be all, Madame?

Yes, Marie.

Bon voyage, Mademoiselle.

Work well.

Papa, can we play on the swing, please?

Mademoiselle Chanel,

Monsieur Beaux is expecting you.

That's him.

Mademoiselle Chanel...

Hello.

It's an honour to work for you.

Follow me, please.

A pleasant journey?

This is where it all begins.

Hundreds of flowers are required

to make a single drop.

More than distillation,

it's the combination that counts.

I've been thinking about our project,

"Essence de Chanel".

"Chanel" will do.

You received the latest samples?

Nothing stood out.

But you've come all the same.

The problem is,

most perfumes fade quickly.

You have to reek all evening

for the scent to last.

You literally have to soak yourself in it.

But we're working on a perfume

that won't fade or spoil.

You want a ribbon

rather than a cloud around you?

As my letter said.

Checkmate.

There's a first time for everything.

Katiousha, it's getting late.

Come on, my dears,

it's time for bed.

Mama, please, 5 more minutes.

Can I stay with you?

I'll come up to see you.

Off you go now. Good night.

Good night.

We had a nice day.

The children seem happy, don't they?

I don't know what to think anymore.

I feel as if I hardly know you.

Igor,

let's leave.

We can go somewhere else.

Where?

I don't know.

We know people in Biarritz.

I can't.

You mean, you won't.

Have it your way.

If I did, we wouldn't be here.

I'm working well here.

That's true.

Your music has more passion.

Can we stop this now, please?

I want to smell like a woman,

not a rose.

We need a little magic.

A little subtlety will do.

I think we're ready.

There are too many scents here.

Let's go outside.

Too sweet.

Too vinegary.

Each one has over 80 ingredients.

I like these 2.

I'm sorry, but you'll have to choose.

This one.

This is the one.

Number 5.

Hello, Joseph.

I'd like to spend a night with you.

Perhaps.

Yes...

From Mademoiselle Chanel

for Ludmilla.

Put it down here.

Thank you, Marie.

Some perfume for you.

Very kind of you, my dear.

Igor!

Mademoiselle Chanel

has given me

some perfume.

Kind of her, isn't it?

Actually, I'm happy for him.

He needs distracting.

He gets so caught up in his work.

I simply ask you

not to meddle in his music.

Music is everything for him.

And for you?

You're quite incredible.

Don't you ever feel guilty?

No.

Mama, isn't it beautiful?

Did you thank Mademoiselle?

Thank you.

What's wrong with Mama?

Don't worry,

everything will be all right.
