this is a powerful one...well acted...suspenseful...psychological horror treat in the beginning I thought it was a "werewolf/ something looking for others to join/victims...this blew my mind....suspenseful...well acted...mind-blowing suicidal myself- i'd never try anyone to join me...my journey to the unknown to find out myself.. this is a mind-screw in the best of the sense of the word great movie, great actors flawless..not sure if it was meant to be a B flick but it is a n A+++ movie maybe not the best one for a suicidal man, but this is a gem it is about cults, despair, alienation, lost hope..and hope, willing to live survive

tho I will not deny the qualities as the rag to riches movie, it is not really true to make it a real bio pic CoCo never really had such hard times to get ahead- tho the collectors was a nice touch..she had lovers and used her sexuality from the start, so the "hard beginnings" were not that hard. omitted is the part when in the war times she was a mistress of a nazi officer and accused of collaboration. damaging her reputation in native France, recovered and ignored in the States othrewise quite a pleasant movie..p-ity it ignored real facts..not a fairy tale but a woman who succeeded all the means she had available and survived...a bit of truth would make this movie generally stronger and would not hurt Co cO's rise to success as a strong woman, a survivor at all costs, in the end a rich but lonely woman
