Coco Chanel: 60’s-70’s  

Set: One interior: Chanel’s apartment at the Ritz, Paris  

Synopsis:

In her later years, Coco Chanel grants an interview with a young journalist. In a haphazardly chronological order, she takes us through her life, one lover at a time, in a monologue that starts optimistically but becomes increasingly gloomy. Chanel philosophizes and recounts while continually reminding herself of what she has, and more importantly, what she has not.
