'The Return' by Karl Lagerfeld – CHANEL

In December 1953, Coco Chanel began her incredible return to center stage. The designer reopens her Haute Couture house after fifteen years of absence. The collection is welcomed by the French press with an icy silence. Only the American media supports the looks that define the rebirth of Chanel's style. "The Return" retraces this determining period, that shaped the legend of the designer of rue Cambon forever.
"The Return," imagined, written and directed by Karl Lagerfeld, features Geraldine Chaplin in the role of Gabrielle Chanel, Rupert Everett, Anna Mouglalis, Lady Amanda Harlech, Arielle Dombasle, Kati Nescher, Vincent Darré and Sam McKnight.

I love Chanel. Not just their clothing and stuff, but their YouTube Chanel! They make commercials, and even short films with such creativity, quality, and class. And what's amazing is that it is really entertaining and they just don't hire any celeb, especially messy ones. you know? You won't see Kim Kardashian modeling for these folks. The people in the commercials and campaigns generally don't have an ugly image and have a good mark and taste in fashion. Chanel has a standard and that's one of the reason why I respect them so much.

I love this actress that's playing Coco- I've never heard of her but she is SO fun to watch. Thank you for these!

Geraldine Chaplin is so, so magnificent in the role of Coco CHANEL, elle mérite une nomination " Meilleure Actrice" pour ce rôle.
Bravo! Mr.Karl Lagerfeld.

What she said at the end hit me like an arrow to the heart. " a woman who has never been loved or has loved; is lost, in fact she's as good as dead." Made me realize something about myself that I've secretly known all my life.

Wonderful job. An Oscar for the woman who played Coco C.

Love her timeless style. When my daughter was 2 years old & found a cute dress for her at a thrift shop & told her it was a "Coco Channel dress"😉. She would repeat that mantra every time she wore it. It had that 'Coco' style. Also we named the cat 'Coco' after her.

I saw this short film and ended fascinated with the little piece of Coco's story. After that, I started to look at the comments and find out that most of the people are complaining about the accent, the scenario and other things. I think the film wasn't about all those things. It was something deeper. It was inside Coco, inside that creative woman who didn't listen, who didn't follow the crowd. For what I understood Coco was a lonely woman, who wasn't loved as she wished...oh lord. I could keep writing good and bad things about Coco but, you know live is too short and my dreams are too big. Rest in peace mademoiselle Coco Chanel

the best of lagerfelds short films. i love the coco chanel quotes that were worked in.

15.33 The most important thing for a woman is to know that she has been loved, to be loved. It is not to love, as to love it is easy..anyone can love.

This was well acted and the details of the period were on point as all of Karl's films. He has an incredible eye for lighting. The hair was brilliant. I enjoyed this though Geraldine's wig/hair piece did not shoot so well. The color wasn't well blended.

Gosh, I loved this. Seeing "Coco" smile made me smile. 😊 good acting, beautiful clothes, great production.

[kikijr.]

why every girl looks gorgeous when she wearing chanel?

[constantasoare]

Good film, but somehow sad... the loneliness of the creator... Karl Lagerfeld is very talented guy, love his photos and films, he is so underated.. seems nobody can have it all... at least for the moment lol

2016 and people are still following Coco Chanel's designs. No wonder she said " I do "
Reporter: Who gets to decide what is good taste ?
Coco: I do.
No crap she's right, and I'm obsessed with her style as it ended up in men's clothes as well.

[RachelHophes]

"the most important thing for a woman is know that she's been loved.
to love is easy, everyone can love but to be loved..."
one of the best quote of all time!!

[Booboonancy]

What a treat. I loved this short film and would love to see a full feature on this. Geraldine Chaplin is mesmerizing. Karl Lagerfeld is a master <3

[rukevweukwa]

I just stumbled on this channel and i most say i am in Awe..
Madmoselle Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel was a woman of great wisdom, elegance and style.
watching these short films by Karl Lagerfeld is a gift to what her life was like.
But the loneliness she felt..made me so sad. I wish she could feel the unending love we all have for her,
because it seems she didn't feel it as much as she would like then.

Geraldine Chaplin you gave this film so much life and color...Coco Chanel would have been proud.

[llezzamagu]

Geraldine Chaplin is pure soul love her wow!
