Enter into the boudoir of French fashion maven Chanel with her lover and then into the scandalous premier of Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring in the Paris of 1913. Then move quickly through montage scenes of World War I and straight into the world of post-World War I amoral cynicism seen in the sinuous aesthetic elegance of fashionable insouciance. Watch the sadness of grief compete and lose to the lure of sex as the beautiful aesthetic turns into the decline of the elegant decadents. As this decline moves towards death, the Weltschmerz overwhelms the heart while the music transcends the sadness and moves into immortal picture frames.
p.s. (on edit): Be sure to watch the movie all the way through the end credits to the very end.
